Enormous thanks to @tomnorthfilm.bsky.social for the heads up on this beauty. I'll be refreshing the order status until the second it's on my doorstep. #35mm #believeinfilm #filmphotography

I had a few day trips scheduled last week in hopes of shaking the dust of a broken brain off my shoulders, but as luck would have it, the week turned to chaos and it didn't pan out. Here's some from my most recent, yet too distant outing along the Columbia River. #35mm #believeinfilm #eck

I've been a bit burned out and off the grid lately. Not thrilled with most of what I've shot, which is very little, but I'll snap out of it at some point, I'm sure. grainfall.substack.com/p/graindrop-... #35mm #filmphotography #believeinfilm #eck #eastcoastkin #stunday

I've got some work up at Lightly Spiced Gallery in downtown Vancouver, WA as of today. There's a ribbon cutting for the gallery taking place tomorrow at 4pm. If you're local to the area, come by! I'll be there all afternoon and would love to meet you. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck

8x10 @ilfordphoto.com FP4+ It's a strange thing to post a mistake like this, considering the lack of any intentionality, but the portrait/landscape orientation just happened to work out in a pleasing way. #stunday #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eastcoastkin #eck

Another 4x5 from the North Cascades I think this was Ilford Delta 100 with a red filter #forestfriday #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin

Diablo Lake on 4x5. Big fan of how what the deep red filter did to this magnificently blue lake. @ilfordphoto.com Delta 100 dev'd in 510 Pyro #believeinfilm #forestfriday #eck #eastcoastkin #filmphotography

#believeinfilm friends, I could use some guidance on this one. My beloved Nikon FM2 seems to be scratching my film? These are from two different rolls. The stripes are fairly consistent on where they appear, but they're not on every frame I shoot. Any ideas on how best to diagnose/address this?

Washington Pass in the North Cascades on large format film. @ilfordphoto.com 4x5 FP4+ n-1 dev thanks to those brutal mid-day sun highlights on the snow Nikkor 300mm/5.6 @ f/45 #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin #forestfriday #scape #landscape

A high-angle black and white photograph of Washington Pass in the North Cascades. The image shows a winding road, State Route 20, as it navigates a deep, heavily forested valley floor, leading to a series of rugged, snow-dusted mountain peaks that dominate the horizon under a clear sky. A prominent 'U'-curve is visible in the highway below, cut through a scree slope. The scale of the massive mountains and the surrounding evergreen forests is emphasized by the winding road and the sharp contrasts between the dark, shadowy valleys and the sunlit rock and snow.

The time has come for me to concede and increase the text size on my e-reader. Only a matter of time before I add this phone to cart.

Also looking for any day-hike recommendations for the area on the off chance someone here has any insight. I definitely will be going back to shoot more intentionally..

Over the last 2 days I've developed 5 rolls of 35mm, 10 4x5s, and 8 8x10s. About half of that is scanned, and a handful of those were converted because damn, I was just so excited to see a few shots from the North Cascades and the southern Oregon Coast. Anyway, I'm tired, boss. #believeinfilm

Lilies in the garden at Shore Acres on the Oregon Coast. FP4 was just made for white botanicals on dark backgrounds, in my ever so humble opinion. Off the first roll through my Nikon F3, 50mm/1.8, @ilfordphoto.com FP4+, 510 Pyro #believeinfilm #filmphotography#35mm #eastcoastkin #eck #bnwmacro

Hello, 4x5 friends. Is this normal? Is this paranoia? Am I just a silly goose for rubber-banding film holders when I know I'll be traveling? #believeinfilm

Locked, loaded, and headed to the coast. Please note the mint++++++++ like new F3. The day after I sold one of my guitars the universe presented me with an opportunity I could not decline. #believeinfilm
