Set the wayback machine to 1987: here I am, chilling in my dorm room at college. One of my roommates picked up my crappy Keystone 110 camera to make this noisy photo.

I just developed and scanned my photos from my day at the Indiana State Fair this year. Thought it would be overcast so I shot T-Max 400 -- turned out sunny. Oh well. Nikon N2020, 28-105 AF Nikkor, T-Max 400, Bellini Ecofilm 1+1. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

I sure like shooting my Reto Ultra Wide and Slim, but I've yet to be truly happy with the images I get from it. Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400 because don't you try shooting slower film in here.

I put another roll of Shanghai GP3 100 through the Kodak Brownie Fiesta a neighbor gave me. You have to make sure the subject is at about 10 feet, give or take, or it won't be in focus. Weird. HC-110 1+63. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Today's 127 Day. Someone gave me the 1960s Kodak Brownie Fiesta they received as a child, so I tested this week. It has a strange in-focus patch of about 7 to 15 feet. I shot it with that in mind today. Shanghai GP3 100 in HC-110 1+63. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

I went to Indianapolis Cars and Coffee yesterday with an old film camera and it decided to underexpose all morning. This is how it goes sometimes with old film cameras. I got about a dozen usable images on the whole roll. 😞 Pentax ME, 50mm f/1.7 SMC Pentax-M, Fujifilm Neopan 400, Clayton F76+ 1+9.

This boy was 3 on this day, but is now 29 - and he moved himself two states away this morning. That comes with some sadness, but also excitement for him as he begins a grand life adventure. Happy Father's Day, all. Kodak Automatic 35F, Kodak Gold 200, 2001. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A review of the 1960 Pentax H3 is queued up on my site for sometime in the next couple of weeks. I came upon this lovely scene while out walking with it. The car is green, in case the shade of gray doesn't give it away. AristaPan 100 in Rodinal 1+25. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

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

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

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

I picked up a cheap Nikon N60 recently with a 35-80 AF Nikkor attached. I recommend cameras like these to newbies all the time because they are inexpensive (mine was $30) and easy. Here: Sullivan's Island, SC - Fujifilm Neopan 400, F76+ 1+9. #believeinfilm #filmphotography
