I would walk by this coffee shop many times in our neighborhood. It was an early evening and the lighting and crowd in the window was compelling. I wanted both to let me take the image without fuss -- but she noticed me -- and caught me in the act.
Shot on the Nikon F100 / 35mm and self developed and scanned.
Twin Falls Idaho
Shot in Twin Falls Idaho in the Fall of 2016. Exposed with the Rollei 6008i and self developed.
Whew -- it's been awhile...
Time to catch up on some previous images. This was taken this last summer in the western part of the city - toward the West Valley area. There are times when upon driving around you recognize the Sun is just perfect but no camera in hand - so don't forget that time frame and venture back when the conditions repeat - with the camera. I did just that one Saturday evening and was able to capture the color of this scene.

Working the Boards
A Landscape Architect of the firm works the boards. Shot on Ilford Delta 400 - self developed and scanned.
the Firm
Shot at my day job, where I'm a specification writer at FFKR Architects. And I shoot for the firm.
Every once in a while it all comes together.
Downtown SLC
This was shot in October off the elevated Eccles Theater building during the open house. Black and White can really be compelling when there is such high contrast in the scene.
Nikon 1 V1 - no crop.
RMNP - atop looking down
This last September, on a trip to Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park I was able to grab this shot when we stopped for a quick viewing.
This image was captured really well -- and with film that is always a bit of a trick. And - if the image is captured well, there is no guarantee that the development will do it justice. The image capture, and home development, and scanning turned out just as envisioned. And this path - is the beauty of film, and the process of film, and the unexpected nature of film.
Rollei 6008i
the Lola.
Sitting on the couch - the dog Lola jumped up to view the scene outside the window. There was nothing there to see - and her head was about 12" from mine. I grabbed the iPhone 7 and opened KitCam and took this. I got as close as I could to keep the scene as shown.

Downton SLC
This was shot at the CityCreek mall area in downtown SLC - on Ilford Delta 400 self developed and scanned. Looking up takes some getting used too and it needs to be a force of habit as a bright blue sky and a white building adds much drama to the scene.
I love this shot - glad it turned out as film is a tricky beast to control.
Rollei 6008i
Fuji Acros - 100 iso
I've recently discovered this Acros Fuji stock -- and OMG -- it's of my favorite now. I wish Fuji still made the 400iso as it only comes in 100 stock. Image was taken on the overlook at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The weather was cold and crazy windy for a day in September. But - it all worked out just fine.

Hold the Line !
"Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so.
Hold the line!
Stay with me!
If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you’re already dead!"

Over a Month -- yikes
It's been too long - I'll be working on that for the future. I will say that I get delayed from posting as I copyright all images now. So there is a 3-4 month delay after the photo is taken before I have a group to register etc. And after the image is registered, then I can post. Ugh --- I know... but that's the process. Ok -- onward.
This image was taken with the newly repaired Rollei 6008i on Ilford Delta 400. Home processed and scanned - and the scan is excellent. The negative processed very flat and as always the flatter the better during the scan.
I really like this image and may print it 24"x24".
No crop.
SLC - with the P330
Here's a grab shot with the pocketed Nikon P330 - in black and white mode. It's a great photo when the light and situation matches the consumer gear really well. I love this photo and the what camera captured. As with all of my images - no crop.
the Ferrari Wheel
Shot on Ilford HP5+ self developed with Ilford DD-X and scanned on Minolta Elite 5400.
a little Coffee in SLC
Shot on the Nikon F100 and self developed.
the Backyard wall
-- the Lola --
Shot on the F100 with film which did funny things during development. I have a feeling it was mis labeled as it sure looks like 3200 to me. Self development results are sometimes very surprising.
-- Four Masts --
Shot in Pentwater, Michigan in July just after the MAC., with the Rollei 6008i - early morning.
SLC
Shot with the Nikon 1 V1 on a SLC backstreet - no crop.
