Back in 2010, Lomography bought a jumbo roll color stock from a mysterious Italian film manufacturer, then stuck the film into cold storage in the Czech Republic for 7 years before slicing it up and releasing Lomography Color Negative F²/400 in 35mm back in 2017.
Well, earlier this year, they sent me an invitation to preorder some in 120, and I jumped on it. Continue reading “Lomography Color Negative F²/400 in 120 – two rolls/two cameras”
For this last iteration of the #DeltaDefJam, I went with the only remaining Delta flavor I hadn’t already disliked shot for the first or second Jam, in two cameras I hadn’t shot for previous Jams, and in one format I hadn’t used before either.

Today, I’m grateful for light, without which, we could not see. There would be no color, photography would not be my hobby, and reading would not be quite so easy as it is, at least in the ways we understand them now.

All praise and thanks be to God for giving us the gift of light and enabling us, thereby, to see. Alhamdulillah!

When we play, at our best, we get into states of flow and, indeed, we thrive. Don’t believe me? Check out some Ted videos, maybe, or some psychologists. Continue reading “Play”
All praise and thanks be to God, I’ve gotten involved with the Dallas Photo Walk group (not to be confused with the Dallas Photo Walk MeetUp Group). After some months interacting over Twitter and being too busy to get in on some walks, I finally had a chance to attend this year’s #Polarwalk at the Dallas Zoo: I had a great time with some fun people and burned a bunch of film too.
