Embarcadero

May 24, 2022

(2022) Here is a short film I made to test the capabilities of my new Sigma fp camera. I took my camera and my 28mm and 85mm Pentax lenses down to the San Francisco waterfront for a walk. I filmed whatever looked interesting with an eye toward testing the Sigma fp’s ability to capture color [...]

Photo Center

May 18, 2022

(2022) A profile of the film photographer Rey Cayetano Jr. and the Harvey Milk Photo Center in San Francisco, California.

American Melon

September 7, 2021

Also, since that time, I’ve been investigating some potential new processes and tools and I’ll cover those findings in this post.

In retrospect, uploading my photos to the Unsplash site was a pretty bad idea; not only did I lose control of my work for the photos I submitted, but I never realized any gain from posting them on Unsplash.
