He Shoots Film…

Check out our B&W Development Tutorial

About Me

I got my first taste of photography in high school photo class where I learned to handle a camera, develop, and print.  Those lessons have had a lasting impression on my photography.  I have been shooting on and off for the past 20 years and have gained a true passion for photography.  Capturing a moment with a camera is something that still amazes me and something I strive for when I shoot.  I shoot with both digital and film and have grown to appreciate the differences with each medium.

 

About the Project

It is 2016 and I am embarking on a roll a week project.  It is my goal to shoot, develop, and scan a minimum of one roll a week.  In 2011, I participated in a similar project.  I learned a lot about the art of film photography and the ins and outs of a manual film camera.  Unlike last time, I will be developing and scanning my own negatives.  I hope to share my experience with you as a way to inform and do my part to keep the art of film photography alive.
