Starting the new year off strong with a picture of my beloved Leica M3. I am hoping to use this camera a lot more this year than last. I am also hoping to start posting on here more consistently. I know just because of how things have changed over the last 5 years (or more) …

35mm Waterfront Park
I took at little walk around Waterfront Park here in Kelowna one day to shoot some film photos. I was using my Leica M3 & 40mm f/2. I was shooting Fujifilm Superia X-Tra 400 35mm film. Sometimes this film seems so great and other times it’s just ok. I think on this day the film …
Leica 90mm f/2.8
90mm on a Leica rangefinder camera is kind of a strange lens. I love the compression and over all look of the focal length, but the box in the rangefinder of most Leica bodies makes using the lens a little more difficult then shorter lenses. The box in the rangefinder for 90mm is kind of …
Nikon F4 Review
I got my hands on a Nikon F4 film camera this fall. I put together a short video review of the camera. I shot all the photos with a 50mm f/1.4D lens and Kodak Ektar 100 35mm film in the camera. I just took a little walk around the Japanese Garden in Kelowna, BC and …
Another Leica M3
In the spring I sold my Leica M3. I enjoyed the camera, but I wasn’t using it as much as I thought I should be. I also found myself using other cameras a lot, but it wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy the M3, I just had other cameras I wanted to try. So I though …
The Gardener’s Sweater Club
I was meeting someone in the building across from this place. As soon as I pulled up this beautiful little area caught my eye and I knew I had to get a picture. I went met up with the person I was meeting and went straight back here. A people came and went as I …
Leica + Canon
I’ve been shooting with a collapsable Leica Summicron 50mm f2 lens (see 2nd photo) on my Leica M3. I have enjoyed using the lens and I am happy with the results I get with it, but pulling the lens out every time I want to take a picture has got a little annoying. On top …
Magic Mike
This is a friend of mine, Mike. I actually met mike randomly one day in a store. I couldn’t help but notice he was carrying a Leica M9. He had this magic tape over the Leica logos on his camera, so it’s surprising I was able to even spot the camera 🤪. Being intrigued by …
Street Shooting with the Leica CL Rangefinder
When I’m out doing the street photography thing I like to shoot wide open. I just like the way the photos look that way better. This style of shooting with a rangefinder is quite difficult, at least it is for me. Nailing focus on moving subjects with a rangefinder patch isn’t exactly easy and since …
CineStill 800T Video
I shot a video of while I was shooting CineStill film photos with Cameron the other night. I really love this film because of the unique look it has to it. This video is part 1 or 2 because I am trying to keep the videos short. I will release part 2 next week. Thanks …
Nikon L35AF Film Camera Review
I did a video review of the Nikon L35AF film camera. I just took a little walk around a park by my house and shot some photos. I was pleasantly surprised by the results. If your just getting started in film photography this camera might be a good place to start. I will post some …
Pentax Espio Mini
I picked up this beautiful little point & shoot film camera and walked around the Olympic Village in Vancouver to test it out. I shot a bunch of different type of photos and I think I got a good read on what the camera can do and how it performs. I was shooting Kodak Gold …
X-tra Lake View
This is another film photo from from my last youtube video. I like this picture because of how calm the lake was. The reflections off the lake are just perfect. The lake is smooth and still like glass but with a subtle ripple in the distance. I shot this photo with Fujifilm Superia X-tra 35mm …
