Pentax K1000 - SB Hopper

A Fallen Son

I caught up with an old friend tonight, and it was fantastic. As the hour approached, I threw up the usual road-blocks. I'm tired. I'm reclusive. Can I reschedule? Grateful that the answer came up no. Go. TB, we went to Bar Cotto, and it was wonderful. I had a

Film Photography

Hmm, something's not right

I just got back a roll of Kodak TMAX 3200 that I shot with a Pentax K1000. I did something wrong. The grain is off the charts. I shot some of the photos in lighting that I didn’t expect to work at all, but I was surprised by the

Analog Coffee

Ones that got away

There was a photo here, but I missed it. That constant battle with street photography. I’ve talked about it before, so I won’t go into it at length. I’d just be repeating myself. Here’s the gist – I love scenes of daily life, but I also don’

Port Angeles

My friend Kate and I recently escaped Seattle for a night and headed to Port Angeles. Kate works a day job, organizes several literary events each month featuring women and queer writers, and sells her art every weekend at Georgetown’s Trailer Park Mall. She needed the break. I’m

Abandoned theater

Royal

A little scattered right now with the photography. I need to sit down and get organized. I wish I could remember where this was. Somewhere in California. Between Cambria and Oakland I think. It’s not a great photo, but I like it. Reminds me (perhaps incorrectly) of that main

Backroads to Ojai

North of Ojai

I’m sorting through a lot of October photos to see if I can put together a cohesive narrative. I added some scanned film images to my catalog while I was traveling, so they occasionally sneak up on me as I’m trying to cull the project files. I took

On the Streets: Indian Summer Vintage

One of the many things I love about Capitol Hill is the wealth of small, independent shops. I always like walking past Indian Summer Vintage and seeing the window displays. I think the shop gets a lot of its items from estate sales. One can’t help but imagine the

Arizona

Jerome is Haunted

I wanted to see Arizona’s high (higher) desert again, so I went to Jerome, Arizona, for two nights. It’s an Old West frontier town that enjoyed a wild mining boom followed by a long bust. It’s since reinvented itself as a cool mountain town popular with artists,

Arizona

On the Streets: Melrose, Phoenix, Arizona

I’m in Phoenix visiting family over the holidays. Several years ago I discovered Copper Star Coffee in Phoenix’s Melrose neighborhood. It’s a great coffee shop in a converted old-timey gas station. I liked it immediately. Copper Star Coffee, Melrose, Phoenix, December 2018. I try to make it
