Wow, this one goes back a looooooong way to my days in San Francisco. I'm getting so old that I can look back on my work and mark really specific periods of time, which is both comforting and scary. #filmphotography #nude #sanfrancisco

A little color film in the summer sun. #colorfilm #nude #oregon #filmphotography

I've had a week from hell running around getting a huge conference done. The end is in sight. Just one more day to go for some sweet and utter relief. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude #oregon

More studio images. I think mentally I'm gearing up for the winter when nobody wants to go outside anymore. Except for me of course, so I end up making pictures of a lot of naked trees. . #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude #portland

Very expired film in the studio. When I say studio I mean my living room during the height of COVID. But yes, we'll stick with the fancy word and call it a "studio". #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude

New blog post. Sometimes I dearly miss the old Polaroid film stocks that seem to have been forgotten.

A little ray of light making its way across the universe and right straight into the lens of my camera. What an honor! #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude #forest

I finished Sally Mann's new book on the plane. Very good read if you are someone who is a lifelong artist or writer. Also... I miss home.

NO! NO! NO! I do *not* want an AI assistance tool that will only turn my words into a generic mess not even worthy of a bargain bin book dust jacket on sale at the airport. *sigh*, Anyway, it's a rainy lazy Sunday, which is not a bad thing at all. Enjoy the photograph! #nude #blackandwhitefilm

Dark sky on 35mm film. I'm looking forward to the season when every picture I take there is a storm on the horizon. #35mmfilm #blackandwhitefilm #nude #oregon

The world is a little too insane for me today so I'm going to find my zen without being connected to cyberspace. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude #mediumformat

David Lynch mural in inner Southeast Portland. There are a lot of wonderful murals in this neighborhood and its become a bit of a public art gallery in its own right. #streetphotography #publicart #portland #pdx

Working with @tsjadevalkyrie.com in the beautiful Columbia River on a very warm weekend. We managed to get a bird in the shot, which is always a sign of good luck in my opinion. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #oregon #nude

I'm looking forward to the fall, when the clouds sweep across the Pacific Northwest like migrating birds on their way to paradise. #colorfilm #nude #oregon #fall #figurestudy

My back has been killing me all weekend, which means lots of time in bed propped up on pillows. So of course I gave my often neglected blog some attention...

I was thinking deep thoughts about selective focus and the beauty of bokeh last night before I drifted off to sleep. #filmphotography #nude #blackandwhitefilm #pdx

I'm at the point in life where I'm choosing the camera I work with based on whether or not I can see the settings with or without my glasses.... #filmphotography #nude #blackandwhitefilm #oregon

I like the light tones at play here. I couldn't have asked for a better morning, with bits of light coming through the overcast sky. Working with @floofiesworld.bsky.social

We are living in a scary time and I truly think the most revolutionary and bold thing we can do is make art using our own brains and our own ideas. Take pictures. Make a drawing. Write a letter. Sing a song. Don't apologize for it and don't let anyone tell you you're no good at it.

I'm wide awake at 4am on a Sunday like a crazy person. Actually, I blame the cat, who absolutely would not let me sleep in. *sigh* I shall survive... #oregon #blackandwhitefilm #nude #landscape

I woke up in quite the mood this morning. Thank goodness it is Friday. Lots and lots of paperwork I have to do at work today, which can be relaxing in some ways, so I'll get through it... #filmphotography #nude #blackandwhitefilm #pdx

I'm feeling inspired to knuckle down and get a lot of work done. It's probably because last night I watched the Mapplethorpe film staring Matt Smith, which wasn't very good, but it still inspired me anyway. #filmphotography #nude #blackandwhitefilm

My roof. A heat wave. Some expired film. #filmphotography #nude #blackandwhitefilm

It was hot as blazes when this image was made, but it was also totally worth the adventure. #filmphotography #nude #blackandwhitefilm #forest

Dreaming of cool waters during a heat wave. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude #swimming

I often wonder what spaces just around the corner look like and about all the things I might be missing. #filmphotography #nude #blackandwhitefilm #streetphotography

One of my favorite trees on the planet. #filmphotography #forest #nude #blackandwhitefilm

Winter can't come soon enough for me. I miss playing with the shadows indoors. I mean really I shouldn't complain. I have a weekend ahead of me filled with outdoor activities, but this image just got processed so it has me thinking...

I am very much in the mood to explore the woods right now. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude

Oh Monday, how I wish you good fortune but know you will probably deliver me to the mouth of frustration... #filmphotography #nude #blackandwhitefilm

Walking around with a little half frame camera. Sometimes I like loading a half frame camera with 400 ISO film and just leaning into the golf ball size grain. It gives the photographs a real "sketch book" kind of quality. #blackandwhitefilm #streetphotography #halfframe

*sigh* adulting is staying up way past your bedtime because you're going down a rabbit hole researching air popcorn makers. Eating chips all night just isn't an option anymore. My brain now looks like the cracked emulsion in this image...

This one is reaching back a looooooong way to my San Francisco days. It doesn't even feel like the same life honestly. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude #figurestudy

It is stupid hot outside. The kind of heat where no matter what you do you just can't feel refreshed and cooled down. This is why I don't like summer sometimes... #filmphotography #nude #blackandwhitefilm #portrait

Old places with echos of the past. #filmphotography #fineart #blackandwhitefilm #nude

Wooo hooo! Happy to get some work done! Grateful for the world that I live in. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude #portrait

I wish I could just go outside and chill right now. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude

As much as I love to travel, it always feels so damn good to be home. #colorfilm #nude #portrait #pdx

Looking back through the lens. #filmphotography #nude #blackandwhitefilm #fineart

Saturday well spent! :-)

Portraits in natural light. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude #hasselblad

Getting a little better with the 4x5 camera. The learning curve is fun. I'm not exactly a novice to the medium, but I've never leaned into it quite as much as I have in the last six months or so. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #largeformat #nude

This is pretty much my life during the week. Roaming the mid-west, chasing clouds, listening to the wind. #filmphotography #35mmfilm #panorama #landscape

Living on the edge of waterfalls and forests. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #nude #pacificnorthwest

Heading out to the Pride Parade this afternoon. It looks like the day is going to mild when it comes to sunshine, so thank goodness for that! After the blast of heat I experienced in the mid-west I'm not sure I can take much more. #filmphotography #blackandwhitefilm #hasselblad #nude

More people need to see this film.

Now playing (03:05 PM PST): "La belle noiseuse" (1991) By Jacques Rivette Runtime: 238 min.

Back home after a very long week of traveling. It feels so great to be on my own couch and to sleep in my own bed. #filmphotography #nude #blackandwhitefilm #hasselblad

The light was really harsh and very bright in this scene so by all rights it should not have worked. Sometimes you just get lucky! Photographed on large format film. #filmphotography #nude #landscape #blackandwhitefilm

4x5 photograph in the studio. I'm still learning a lot when it comes to working with large format and making a lot of mistakes. Which isn't a bad thing. In fact, it is rather thrilling in many respects. Working with @earthy-eva.com
