December Newsletter

Young Black Bear

The plan was to write a monthly newsletter, and I think I actually did get a couple written before the whole plan was derailed by events. Somehow through all the trauma, I managed to keep shooting, but recently noticed that none of those images had been uploaded to my fine art website, or to my stock agencies. No newsletters had been written and I had actually put little thought into my photography since the trees began changing colors in the high country in September. But now the skies have cleared over my life and it's time to get back to work!

Autumn in Garden of the Gods

Garden of the Gods Autumn

Autumn is always a beautiful time in Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs. I was especially eager to get down there this year, because I have earned three free rolls of film developing at the camera store. Unfortunately I plucked a roll of severely expired film from the drawer that was intended for a test shoot only of an old film camera that I'm not sure works. So, in this post I'll discuss how to make the best out of a day with a roll of 15 year old expired 400 speed film.

Going Analog

I finally acquired the last piece of gear required to do my own analog film and slide scans. With the addition of a Canon 100mm macro lens, I finally have everything I need to do the conversion.

Happy Solstice

Thought this might be the perfect time to get my spring solstice, end of winter newsletter published! Coincidentally, I just got back a couple of rolls of film that I've been working on throughout the winter, just in time for this publication.

My Year in Colorado: Wildlife Photography Recap

A new year is almost upon us and it seems like a good time to take a look back at 2024, one year in the life of a photographer. Join me in this post as I review a year of pictures in the rugged mountains of Colorado.

Autumn on Ektar Film

I was happy to see my fall film pictures arrived in my Dropbox yesterday from Englewood Camera! I shot this batch on my recently acquired and tested Canon EOS Elan 7, and Kodak Ektar 100 film. I chose Ektar for it's' fine grain and brilliant color and contrast. Some say Ektar Color negative film rivals the amazing quality of Kodak Ektachrome slide film.
