Yesterday's kayaking journey included me shooting infrared film. Holy smokes, it's not easy as I can't see through the lens filter, and the kayak is constantly drifting. Shot on Rollei IR 400 with my Nikon FM2n. #believeinfilm #photography #filmphotography
Black and white infrared. This is an open water area of a cypress swamp. So tall bald cypress trees in calm water.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Probably not the best light reading for a long day of travel. The fact that I'm reading this to better understand current events is also wild. Ordinary Men.

Pea Island Lifesaving Station. I like to drive down to the Outer Banks this time of year. It's empty and free from distraction.
Life saving station sitting within the dunes. There's a tower to the right side of the building.

A photo from 2023, I'm looking to maybe use more HP5, while its extremely popular and rightly so, I've resisted using it en-masse previously, but this might be the right time for me.

Shorebreak in black and white. Shot on Fuji Acros II with my Nikon 35ti. #believeinfilm #filmphotography
Looking down from the pier to the shore break. The waves are crashing on shore.

I'm having difficulty keeping my thoughts to myself about my country right now. So, I'm doing what I can to bring a little bit of peace. My morning coffee down at the Sandbridge Pier. I have to let my rage drop a little bit. #virginiabeach #morningcoffee

Pool days in the winter are limited. I want to go back and shoot thos on color film to get the full 1960s vibe from this hotel. This is shot on Fuji Acros II with my Nikon F3.

You can see a tree stump with deep cracks on the surface. Several mushrooms are growing out of these cracks, clustered closely together. They have thin, long stems and a lamellar cap. The background is a blurred photograph of a forest.

Monday, I went walking with my camera at the gardens. I've always liked this pair of Dawn Redwoods. I've thought about planting some in my yard or bald cypress. Shot on Kodak TRI-X pushed to 800 with my Nikon F6. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

End of season emptiness. The oceanfront is like its own metro within our metro area. Emptiness in winter. Overcrowded in summer. Completely different atmosphere than the rest. Shot on Kodak TMAX400 with my Lomo MC-A. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

Today's shower soundtrack: A Tribe Called Quest's People's Instinctive Travels. Brings back high school and a brick of hashish a buddy found tied to his crab pot in the Elizabeth River. High school was not the same after that.
Album cover with silhouette of the band in various colors. Drawings of buildings to each side.
