Photography is more than a hobby for me — it’s therapy. Shooting B&W film slows my racing mind. Developing and scanning help quiet the noise. When I’m making images for myself, my brain finally rests.

Simple B&W from a 25-year-old film camera. I shoot Kentmere 400 and process with generic chemistry. It takes me time to finish a roll, but that’s the point. Film slows me down, keeps me mindful, and makes every session feel like therapy.

This new abstract B&W project has opened my eyes to the beauty of nature and the symmetry hidden in its chaos.

From my new series of B&W abstracts. Sometimes the best images appear when you look down and notice the quiet details beneath your feet.

A simple walk along the beach. Nothing fancy, just the grainy beauty of Kentmere 400 in Rodinal 1+50 doing its thing.

From my new series of B&W abstracts. Nature never stops surprising me — the way it forms symmetry out of chaos is endlessly inspiring.

It appeared one day, lingered just long enough to make me wonder, and vanished a couple of days after I captured it. So many questions, no real answers. Shot on my Holga with Kentmere 400—perfect for a little mystery.

Starting a new project. Shot with a new old camera, the Vivitar 3800N, on Kentmere 400 and processed in Rodinal 1+50. I’m addicted to the grain already.

When a simple grocery run turns into a little moment of inspiration. Found this amazing pepper and had to photograph it. Shot on my Minolta XG9 with a 50mm macro on Kentmere 400, using only natural light.

Yellow flower in B&W. A quiet close-up made with my Minolta XG9 and a 50mm macro on Kentmere 400. I’m always drawn to the symmetry in nature—how even the smallest details fall into place with such effortless beauty.

Film has taught me patience and how to really see. I slow down, notice the light, and enjoy the process. It’s brought me back to the joy and discovery of photography.

The more I use the Holga, the more I fall in love with it. It’s so limiting. You have to think about the light and guess at everything else. As Leonardo da Vinci once said, “Art lives from constraints and dies from freedom.”

A couple of images made with my Holga on Kentmere 400. The Holga reminds me why I fell in love with photography — it reduces everything to light, shadow, and instinct.

Just finished a roll of Kentmere 400 — it’s been a while since I last used my Holga. I forgot how much fun this little plastic camera can be. Definitely bringing it back into rotation.

A new image for my “Agave” series — a study in form and shadow. Captured yesterday in Old Town, where history and texture meet.

Birds perched on a light post — I love the simplicity and balance of this composition. I used a red filter to deepen the sky’s tones, creating a stronger contrast.

Back in Imperial Beach this morning, capturing street portraits and connecting with new faces. There’s nothing quite like the energy of meeting people where they are and telling their stories through black and white

A little rain today—refreshing and much needed. Captured on my Fujifilm X-T2 with a 50mm lens. Always love the depth of black and white.

From the fashion archives — shot on film with the classic Nikon N90 and a 180mm lens. Still one of my favorite setups of all time.
