Film photos of vintage and exotic cars. Fun times!

The best of this week's blogs, judged and collected by me for you.

I got out my 1960-ish Kodak Brownie Starmatic recently and put some Shanghai GP3 100 through it and developed it in Rodinal 1+50. A Brownie Star-series camera was my first camera. This one has a primitive autoexposure system! #filmphotography #believeinfilm

A surprisingly great lens on a large and chonky 35mm point-and-shoot from Pentax.

A quick review of the 50mm lens that comes on most used Canon manual-focus SLRs.

The best of this week's blogs, as I see it.

A brief survey of Indiana state highway signs.

I'm always down for an old BMW. Nikon N90s, 28-80/3.5-5.6 AF-D Nikkor, Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

Who the hell shoots expired Fujifilm Neopan 400 at 800, and then develops it in Rodinal? meee Pentax H3, 50mm f/1.8 Super-Takumar. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

A review of the Konica MT-100, a simple point-and-shoot camera that is quietly competent and dirt cheap used.

Study of a staircase at the Art Institute of Chicago. The Pentax IQZoom 170SL wasn't the ideal camera for this but it was the one I had on me. Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

All Parts Falling Off This Car Are The Finest English Workmanship. Nikon N90s, 28-200/3.5-5.6 AF-D Nikkor, Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A look down into a ravine in Holliday Park, Indianapolis.

The old cars I found parked in April, 2026.

In Holliday Park in Indianapolis the trail system takes you right up and under this 1933 concrete-arch bridge. It feels vaguely dystopian to come upon it. Pentax Zoom 90-WR on AristaPan 100 in Rodinal 1+25. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

What makes a point-and-shoot worth keeping: a practical rubric from real use.

I picked up a Pentax 90-WR for $10 at a thrift store. It's a chunky boi. But its lens is shockingly good - no distortion or vignetting, sharp to the corners, great resolving power. AristaPan 100 in Rodinal 1+25. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

The best of this week's blogs - the ones I follow, anyway.

A film shot of a chalkboard sign on the square in Valparaiso, Indiana.

My wife and I got to photograph a hockey game, up close and personal.

What a mess of a roll of film this was.

The best of the blogs this week.

A useful metaphor for us niche bloggers that helps explain why some readers stay.

Worn shopping center, still essential — the one we use every day.

Photos I made while writing my recent review of the Olympus Stylus.

The best of this week's blogs.

Here's one I made in about 1990 while I lived in Terre Haute. The bottling plant is closed now, and this great sign is gone. Kodak VR35 K40 on Kodak color film, probably ISO 200. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

I'm here to pump you up. Nikon N60, 50mm f/1.8 AF Nikkor, Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400, 2026. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Old cars parked: March 2026 The old cars I found parked in March, 2026.

The Kodak Charmera offers some creativity despite disappointing image quality, best used with its built-in filters.

The best of the blogs this week, all in one place.

Appreciation doesn't convert. Readers who love your work and readers who pay for it turn out to be very different populations. This is an honest survey of blog monetization mechanisms — what each delivers, what each costs, and why the economics have never made sense for most of us.

Just some reflections on my longhair days.

I normally keep my profile about film photography, but I wanted to share this piece I published today about ideology and how it blocks legitimate solving of societal problems. blog.jimgrey.net/2026/03/31/y...

A review of the Olympus Stylus, a 35mm point-and-shoot camera that delivers fun, quality photographs in good light.

A satisfying b/w film photo from an entry-level SLR.

The first roll of film in the Nikon N60 I acquired late last year.
