Unless someone has a better recommendation! The V600s are so pricey but I don’t want to sacrifice on film scam quality. I may have to wait until August to scan some B&W and color shots and that’d be a bummer! Regardless I have been shooting some test work.

Slowed down over the summer now that I don’t have access to a sheet film scanner at the school’s lab. Trying to get my hands on a V600 but slim luck with a fully functional scanner 🤔 Trying to avoid dropping them off at a commercial lab to cut down on wait time but it may be my only option.

I also realize I haven’t actually scanned this print. Will do this soon!

Not sure about gallery etiquette, but I couldn’t help snagging my Vanguard Winner plaque from the Eric Fischl Vanguard juried show, from my 5x7 silver gelatin piece that ended up at PHX Art Museum. Much love to everyone who came and supported.

From the @phxfilmrevival.com megaroll during their past event this month. Thanks so much for the photo! I can’t wait to meet up again, so glad to connect more with the local analog community finally.

So excited to share that I’ll be showing work tomorrow at @phxart.bsky.social Phoenix Art Museum’s Eric Fischl lecture event April 2nd for the Student Art Exhibition and Vanguard Award. I am beyond honored to take part, and so thankful for those that motivated me to enter.

some vegetation! #believeinfilm #35mm

Got to digitize my tooth photo. Made some really rich 8x10 and 5x7 prints of it! #believeinfilm #phoenixphotographer #35mm

Never heard of this Petzval lens, had to google it and see what it was about. What a lens! It’s brass form what I am seeing online? Love this shot, it looks straight out of a dream.

(Need to clean off my negs but here’s another)

Another print day in the lab. Not an official scan but I hope to upload the final jpg soon. Used a special 90’s medical camera for these macro shots and I think I’m in love with the test pics already.

Having some extra fun time in the darkroom today, finding shots I don’t even remember taking.

This is so dreamy, I love this shot!

Almost didn't take the first one, but it ended up being a favorite of mine from my zoom lens. I love how it just melts away the background (that was actually pretty busy with other plants). I'll have to use that zoom more often to create the dreamy effect.

A friend of mine on 35mm, years ago in front of a townhouse we all shared in Glendale, CA.

On the road of Encinitas, CA sometime 2023.

Consuming other artist's work for me has been a big one. Visiting new museum exhibitions mainly. Especially if it goes beyond the photography world and into painting, animation, illustration, or cinema. A lot of times I just need some sort of inspiration from other media beyond my own bubble!

So glad we're all migrating over here!
