Film photographer in Birmingham, Alabama. I am somehow still an Auburn fan and I like it when it rains on F1 races.
Wheeler Wildlife Refuge, today. Sell all my cameras, buy 600mm lenses and just shoot birds. Don't tempt me, I'll do it. Ft. @brightsides.bsky.social

Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark, Birmingham, Alabama. This place is a cheat code, and I try not to go all the time but when I'm feeling uninspired I know I can burn a roll of film there pretty quickly. Ultra Finesse Extreme 100, in the G690.

Excited to see the KEH 20% off sale, immediately followed by the disappointment that 20% off of KEH prices is still insanely high on nearly everything I looked up.

Me: I am now a 6x9 format snob. Also me: I finally got a lens for my 645 and maybe I should shoot it more. Kentmere 400 pushed 1 stop (as it shall always be done) in the Bronica ETRS with a new-to-me 75mm lens. This was my first medium format camera. It's...pretty damn good.

When I took this, I thought it was gonna be one of the best pictures. Multi layers of fall color down a slope with trees in the foreground breaking it up. It looked so good in person. And then, an expired roll of Portra 160VC decided to just straight up stab me in the heart. Goddamn film.

It's just a closed Mexican restaurant in Irondale, but it looks like a church in Madrid or somewhere.

A few from this month's Birmingham Film Walk. A buddy let me borrow a Nikon S3 and shoot a roll through it. I liked it! Not enough to justify getting one, though.

I'm going to start doing these short-ish videos about cameras I own, or briefly own, or lenses, or whatever. I always search for these when I'm researching stuff on Youtube, so I figured I'd make my own. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv-F...
Quick Look: Fuji STX-2

I drove around for a while at lunch today, I didn't take a single photo. I think I am burned out. These are good, though. Birmingham, early yesterday morning.

Will a non-Leica rangefinder make me happy, part 8 (at least). A return to the canon 7 because I got a great deal.

@bencollins.bsky.social I dont know why, but I thought about The Sandwich today. Just out of the blue. Intrusive. It shook me. Thought you should know.

I can no longer follow the plot of this show. I suspect the writers and actors can’t either. I don’t think they have a show runner.

Well, shit. I am 5 days older than Drew which means I too have ascended.
Born February 22, 1975, Drew Barrymore is 18,530 days old today, matching Wilford Brimley’s age on the day ‘Cocoon’ was released. Congrats Drew! You’ve reached the Brimley/Cocoon Line.

I was so excited for the little Olympus PEN-D half frame camera I got super cheap and it literally died after shooting one roll. They were pretty good, too!

We had a horrific fire destroy a bunch of historic buildings and...c'mon man. I couldn't resist taking some pictures. I'm the worst.
