I’m a film photographer. I shot only 35mm and polaroids from 1974 until 1992, and then dove headfirst into digital. In 2009 I returned to film, shooting the same 1973 Konica Autoreflex T3 that I’d packed up 17 years earlier... and became completely hooked. My wife and I built a dedicated darkroom and lab in 2017, and now I shoot many formats of film, including:

35mm (half and full frame)

120 (6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9)

70mm film in 6x6, 6x7, 6x9

2x3” (ish) sheet films

4x5”

5x7”

8x10”

Some Polaroid formats for fun

My cameras include:

Several Polaroid models

Several 35mm SLR and rangefinders

Leica R9 (my wife’s camera- she lets me shoot)

1948 Rolleiflex

Graflex Crown and Century Graphics

Fuji GF670

Graflex Combat 70 rangefinder

Mercury Universal medium and large format

Mamiya 645 1000S

Hasselblad 500C

Hasselblad FlexBody

Linhof Kardan ST-E

Horseman 45

Intrepid 4x5 MKIV

Deardorff convertible 4x5 / 5x7

Intrepid 8 x10 MKII

And with those, I have a whole bunch of lenses!

In the darkroom we have two Beseler enlargers.. a 23 and a 45MCX. I do much of my processing in a PhotoTherm SSK8R to save space... no sinks. Although I hand develop plates. We process our paper in Nova vertical processors.
