Ten Rolls of JCH Street Pan

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera No Comments

A few years ago, when I first heard that Bellamy Hunt of Japan Camera Hunter would be launching a new film, I had to place an advance order. I shot this the day I finally received my ten rolls of brand new JCH Street Pan.

Sarah has been learning to play guitar. A few years ago (when this photo was taken), she rented a guitar for a few months while she saved up to buy her own. She has since purchased a really nice Taylor GS Mini.

Holga Week

Alberta, Calgary, camera modification, Canada, Fuji Instax Mini, Holga 120 CFN, instant, toy camera No Comments

With the exception of the very last photo, these were all taken during Holga Week. The first three photos are the ones I submitted to the contest. I used the same homemade mask I described in a previous post (Shooting Instax Mini Film with a Holga) to load my Holga with Instax. Studio strobes were […]

Shooting Instax Mini Film with a Holga

Alberta, Calgary, camera modification, Canada, Fuji Instax Mini, Holga 120 CFN, instant, toy camera No Comments

After successfully shooting Instax Mini film in my Mamiya C220 TLR, I attempted to shoot it in my Holga. My first attempt failed miserably. I don’t own the incredibly rare Instax Mini Back designed for the Holga (I found one on eBay once, but they wanted $200 for it), so I had to find a […]

Film on Film #3: Orwo, Ferrania & JCH Street Pan

Film on Film, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera No Comments

For the third installment in my Film on Film series, I have a lovely trio of B&W film: JCH Street Pan 400, Ferrania P30 Alpha 80, and Orwo NP7 400. JCH Street Pan 400 is a high-contrast film by Japan Camera Hunter that has given me mixed results. This is normal when shooting film. You […]

Film on Film #2: Agfa, Kodak, Fuji & Rollei

Film on Film, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera No Comments

These photos are from my Film on Film project. A few years ago, I created a small photography studio in my basement. It’s really nothing more than a backdrop and a few strobes, but it has allowed me to practice shooting portraits and learn the fundamentals of lighting. Unfortunately, as time went on, the basement […]

cowboy selfie shot with Mamiya C220 on Instax Mini film

I’ve become a little obsessed with Instax Mini film lately. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am currently working on a project using Instax Mini and so it’s been on my mind a lot. So much, in fact, that I awoke one morning with the idea that I wanted to shoot Instax Mini […]

Film on Film

I’ve been working on a new project. I’m photographing every roll of film I own on Fuji Instax Mini film. These are the first two rolls I’ve captured and they are part of a new series I’m calling Film on Film. They were shot using a Diana F+ with Instant Back and it took me […]

The Cowboy Trail on Instax Wide

Alberta, Canada, Fuji Instax Wide, instant, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter No Comments

These are from a day trip I took with some photographers a few years ago. We drove along the Cowboy Trail through southern Alberta with many stops along the way. I shot mostly 35mm that day, but I also had my Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter & Instant Back with me. The first photo is from […]

Star Wars AT-AT

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera No Comments

I own a Diana F+ camera with ‘all the fixins’. I bought the deluxe kit one year and also picked up the Instant Back. The result is that it’s a lot of fun to use all the Diana’s lenses while shooting Instax Mini. I shot this at a friend’s place on Fuji Instax Mini (Star […]

Royal Tyrrell Museum

Alberta, Canada, Fuji Instax Square, Fuji Instax Square SQ10, instant No Comments

These dinosaur photos are from the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. Sarah & I took her parents there when they visited us last Christmas. The lighting in the museum is very dim and you’re not supposed to use flash, so I’m happy with the way these turned out.

Shooting on Instax

Alberta, BC, Calgary, Canada, Fuji Instax Wide, instant, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter No Comments

I also bought an Instant Back for my Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter. It’s a lot of fun (my niece and nephew love it!) even though it’s not the easiest thing to use. Fuji Instax film is notoriously sensitive to light and even though it’s rated at ISO 800, I think it behaves more like ISO […]
