Greensboro, North Carolina photographer. Just going broke trying to keep the film thing alive.

I am a traditional analog film nerd, shooting mostly medium and small format (120/35mm) with some instant-film (Polaroid/Instax) and large format (4x5) mixed in. My interest in film came from my time earning a degree in commercial and biocommunication photography from RCC Photo, graduating in 2009.
