Bird’s-eye view
This started out life as a full-colour image, shot with the Rolleiflex on expired Provia 100 — then Photoshop got to it.
Unexpected places

Depth of Field
I recently picked up a few rolls of colour film that I had put through the Rolleiflex (pretty much the only film camera I’m interested in using these days). I’m always shocked at how shallow the depth of field is at wide apertures with the Rolleiflex — a function of the long focal length of…

Lake Ontario — South Shore
Where Lake Ontario meets Irondequoit Bay, northeast of Rochester, NY. Olympus Stylus Epic, Kodak Tri-X developed in the Thornton two-bath developer, scanned on the Epson 4490 (not an ideal scanner for 35mm but okay in a pinch).
Late-summer coneflowers
