Christmas in Chicago on Cinestill 800T

December 2024


I took advantage of a warm December night to shoot Christmas lights and neon in downtown Chicago. My camera was loaded with a roll of Cinestill 800T film, which is known to create strange halation effects around warm colored lights. I also practiced shooting double exposures on my Nikon FM2N which worked better than I had anticipated.


Arizona Road Trip

February 2023


In January 2023, I went on a week-long road trip through Arizona. I flew into Tucson and made a counter-clockwise loop around the state, ending in Phoenix. Along the way I visited Saguaro National Park, Petrified Forest National Park, Monument Valley and Sedona, along with many roadside attractions. I shot on my new Nikon Z5 with a 24-200 superzoom as well as the 14-30 f4 wide angle lens.
