About

I created this blog in an attempt to assist some of you who may have an interest in film photography.  Also, I intend to use  this as an aggregate  source for making people aware of some of the various aspects of traditional  film photography, lomography , and pinhole photography,  as well as the history of each of these subjects.
I will also endeavor to bring to your attention certain works and exhibits, by a variety of photographic artists, that I find interesting.
You may also check here for news and related developments associated with film photography.

About me:

I have been both a film photographer and digital photographer for many years.  I do not claim to be an expert on the subject-however I have been well around the block a few times,  and I think at the very least I may be able to provide some useful advice and insight.  My goal is partly to stimulate interest in this field, and share with you a little of my enthusiasm.
