This cheap B+J 8x10 monorail camera is WAY more portable than I would have guessed. So much more portable than my 4x5 monorail. The rail comes right off, and then the camera fits in my usual 8x10 backpack. It’s also made of painted grey (why???) wood, so it’s not heavy! #CameraGear #BelieveInFilm

It would be incorrect to say I have ever been “cool”. But maybe the least (most?) uncool I have ever been is driving around in my ‘79 VW Westphalia camper with my handmade wooden kayak wearing a tie dye Calvin and Hobbes shirt and toting a Nikon f4. Really miss that van. Still have the boat. #TBT

Playing “is it pictures?” with some dragonfilms no. IV. It’s pictures, but it’s a little thin. And by thin I mean both the negatives and also it’s a crazy thin PET base! Apparently Svema 42l aerial film. #BelieveInFilm #IsItPictures #Pyro510

It’s opening night on Broadway for Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter in ‘Waiting for Godot’ Went to see it in previews with my mom, recently, and it was a delight (or as delightful as existential dread gets). With a fun shout out to Wyld Stallyns. #WaitingForGodot www.cbsnews.com/newyork/vide...

Large format! Two great shots of the Seneca 8x10 and 5x7 in action. In the first my daughter is helping me with critical focus! 🥰 Shot this summer by my awesome nephew, @isaacblomqvist.bsky.social, with his Pentax Super Program, on Kodak Gold. Isaac just joined Bsky! #BelieveInFilm

More tests! Benson Instant Box Cam, paper negative inverted digitally (left) and (irl) positive print via the built in copy stand (right). Need to readjust the stand registration. Trying to get the workflow nailed down so I can do some “real” shooting next weekend.😅 #BelieveInFilm #AfghanBoxCam

Proof of concept! Dry tintype on 35mm film cartridge! This is so neat. Shot on the Benson Instant Box Camera I was hoping to avoid the step, but the cartridges will definitely need a subbing layer, because the emulsion is clearly not adhering well. 😅😅 #BelieveInFilm #AfghanBoxCamera #Tintype

My first attempt to coat dry tintypes at home! (Still wet from the wash). Is it good? No. Is it pictures? Well, it’s close. 🤷‍♂️ (Second coating batch went better and will be even cooler!) Instant dry tintypes in the Benson Instant box cam! 😮 #AfghanBoxCam #BelieveInFilm
