From the first of many anti-ice protests at the birthplace of the city of Los Angeles on #kodaktrix400 #believeinfilm

Going to be difficult to take away the American dream when you’ve been selling the idea to the world. Taken from the first anti-ICE protest at the birthplace of the city of #LosAngeles Placita Olvera on #kodaktrix #believeinfilm

Flocks and groups on a particularly overcast day on the pier in #santamonica on #kentmere400 #believeinfilm

I try and find things that I identify with when I’m out shooting #streetphotography and I can definitely identify with/see myself a couple decades down the line carrying flowers for my love. Shot on #kentmere400 #believeinfilm

Can’t wait for baseball season to start up again and looking forward to another Dodgers World Series run! Day and night at the ravine on #fomapan400 #believeinfilm

I’ve committed myself to only shooting b&w film next year. These bricks should last me until at least the first quarter of 2025 #believeinfilm

Someone on my timeline asked what their favorite stock of film to use when shooting portraits and I’ve always enjoyed #fujifilmreala100 when it was around. 120 was the go to. Having said that, whatever is in my camera atm is the best for portraits. #streetportrait years ago #believeinfilm

Sarita’s pupuseria. Some of you may know this from Lala Land, but us Angelenos know this as one of the best eats in #dtla Medium format on #ilfordpanf50 #believeinfilm

So my last post was my recent use of #iso3200 from. The last time I shot that high was in the mid-2000s when I took a portrait of my sister using available light and #ilforddelta3200 #believeinfilm

Such a long time since I shot a roll of film higher than iso800 and I wanted to try out #kodakp3200tmax when it was announced years ago but didn’t want to pay the retail price at the time. My friend traded me a roll of P3200 for a roll of Foma and iso3200 sure is grainy, but I love it #believeinfilm

Good Friday #believeinfilm community! A #streetphotography photo I took during a May Day parade in #dtla using #35mm #kodaktrix

One of my favorite #streetphography photos in my archive

@bsky.app, are there plans to expand the amount of photos to more than 4 in the future? I really like 4 being the max, in that it’s a challenge (for me imo) to tell a story in 4 images. Here’s the recent #dodgers parade I short in four images (obv I have more). #35mm #fomapan400 #believeinfilm

Some stills from a photo project I was working on before the pandemic of the #Venicebeach basketball courts shot on #35mm #kodaktrix #believeinfilm

I made my friends, one visiting from Germany, wait 15 minutes for me to get this photo

Left the cesspool that is Twitter and heard this new joint is more reasonable
