20250115_FILM_SPAIN

To place myself in Spain is to place myself in an understanding of my place in history.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To stand where Renaissance transitioned to Baroque, a mosque into a synagogue into a church, coexistence into conquering…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just as I begin to become insecure about my inability to wrap my mind around it all, I suddenly realize that travel is like a roll of film.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s not meant to be fully processed in real-time.


🎞️ All four rolls were captured on my Rollei 35. (the ULTIMATE “Stay Present” travel film camera) The two rolls of color negatives were shot on Kodak Ultramax 400 (a film that makes me forget what decade they were taken in.) processed by my friends at @fast.foto in Bloomington, MN, and self-scanned in my studio. The two B&W frames were shot on Ilford HP5 rated at 400iso and self-developed in Kodak HC-100 (Dil. b for 8min).

Why I Shoot Film

Getting film hand-checked every time I go through TSA is a pain… I can’t fix my mistakes like I could with a digital image… it takes longer… it’s finicky… it’s more expensive…

the list goes on, but I love it and I still do it anyway.

Join me today on the podcast to discuss why I still shoot film, and why I think it’s worth it.

I just got back from Mexico and decided to shoot the entire trip only on film. (a first for me) here are a few frames.

🎞️ These were all shot on my Rollei 35 on either Kodak 400 or Ilford HP5 (pushed to 1600 and developed in my darkroom with Kodak HC-110)
