The brighter side of insomnia is having plenty of time to develop a roll of film, scan 3 rolls of 120 and 2 rolls of 35mm and have it all finished well before lunch.

Beard so gray it's looking like a weird goatee

Self portrait shot through a bathroom mirror covered in etched graffiti and it by a single bulb above the mirror.

Did not expect my first self portrait to be in a middle-of-nowhere bathroom somewhere, or maybe somewhere in Southeast Oregon. Shot on pulled Ilford Delta 3200, no less.

I also open my mouth when I hold a camera to my eye.

Maybe I'm just not posting about it loudly enough

If I could get Kentmere 400 in large format I would be soooo happy.

#believeinfilm

These are really beautiful, great work!

I just loaded 3 Hassy film backs with Kentmere 400 that I will absolutely be pushing to 1600 because that shit absolutely rocks. Of this I have made no secret and will continue to evangelize.

Wont be at the coast, unfortunately, just making the best of a road necessary road trip.

So awesome, Sand Harbor?

Very cool! I love when nature shows us things like a boar's head in a dead tree. Great catch!

Yes, exactly. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Let's keep it sensible here, 20x24 but I'll build my own camera.

Agreed, so awesome!

I've got quite a few more shots from Bandon and Shore Acres here if you're interested a few other spots:

I sincerely hope you do! The Olympic Peninsula is a must-see. The Hoh rain forest, Ranier, the list goes on and on.

I'm in Vancouver, WA. Centrally located enough to hit the coast, mountains, and gorge with relative ease. Very grateful to be here

Amazing! We definitely have excellent taste in compositions 👌

Shore Acres is likely to be the subject of one of my large format photography portfolios that I'll be making prints of. This was more of a test run and location scouting mission but I'll absolutely be back again and again.

Magical really is the right word.

It is absolutely the same, how cool! How long ago did you take yours? It's stunning!

I don't remember it being that big when I was there a few weeks ago, so I'm wondering if some bits of it have fallen off over time.

I have a feeling I'll be shooting this scene again a in a more creative way in the future. Not like dressed as a clown or something, like a different perspective that plays with the shape.

The details from a sheet of 8x10 are genuinely unlike anything I've experienced. Really beautiful stuff.

I really loved this scene on the Oregon Coast.

Hah..

Outstanding!

Couldn't agree more with this. 135 is where I'm more inclined to push film and embrace some grain and that character I love. Anything larger than that and and I start really considering what I want a print to look like.

Like you said, totally different ballgame, exactly.

🙏🙏🙏

5x4 is a fantastic format, I love it

Nice, what a convenient mistake!

This, 1000x this

And is very much love to be connected with a iiic! And if one pops up in must-have pristine condition or something close, well, I'd just have to figure it out. We live but only once
