2025/09/01: Labor Day Pacifica Beach Day

Headed out to the beach as it was the end of summer and it decided that it was going to be > 95º. Pacifica was much cooler, but still rather humid. Brought out the Leica M7 with the 35mm and 90mm, and also loaded up some Ilford Ortho 80+ which

Showed up to the August edition of SF Instant Photowalk like a dummy with 3 film cameras that were in various states of non-completion. Oh well. I promise to do better next time, but couldn't bring the GOOOSE as well or my back would have broken :) Good news

2025/08/29: Fog + Neon: A San Francisco Night Photo Walk

SF Film group hosted an outing near the inner Sunset and was an excuse for me to bring out the tripod and try some long exposures again. Turns out lugging a tripod and setting up the cable release and tripod is pretty laborious! Portra 400 in the Plaubel Makina 67

2025/08/23: Part 1: Calaca Coffee and Crockett, CA

Starting off a long day / roadtrip to Sacramento and the Central Valley, I stopped by the best coffee in Crockett, CA: Calaca Coffee Loved the photo books and was great to peruse while sipping on my Latte with the secret sauces. On the way out took some snaps of the

2025/08/17: Phoenix 200 Mark II in Burlingame

Testing out Harman's Phoenix Mark II on the Leica M7 in Burlingame, CA during a weekend street fair event. Results are slightly better than mark I. Noticing issues with halation, and a very grainy result for something rated at 200. I rated this roll at 125, dynamic range
