Flying for the Flag, released!

My documentary, FLYING FOR THE FLAG, has been released. You can watch it on Amazon, iTunes, and many other platforms. Here’s the poster:

Hop in the cockpit with the Bandit Flight Team, America’s most active formation team. You’ll see how they stay wingtip to wingtip as they over NASCAR races, military events, and other gatherings. Enjoy!

Eagle Beach, Aruba (2 and 3)

Here’s a photo from November 2022. A quick snap taken with a Nikon F5 and Nikkor 20mm AF-D lens. Kodak Tri-X 400 film.

It’s one of the photos you grab in the moment. Simply point and press the shutter. Later, you find out what you have. I like this one. It captures the vibe without telling too much. Sometimes… that’s better than megapixel details.

TMax 3200 at the record shop.

I exposed some TMax 3200 recently. Came out okay. I need to sharpen my eye, but the film itself works very well at night. Of course, it’s grainy, that’s the point. Nonetheless, I like the look.

This exposure was scanned and tweaked in Lightroom. Again, came out okay, but needs a better perspective.

Indie Photo Lab, Philadelphia

Here’s a “thank you” and “job well done” to Indie Photo Lab in Philadelphia. As viewers of this blog will know, I’ve been meddling in film photography again. Of course, I need a professional lab to develop and scan my results. The crew at Indie Photo Lab did a great job, especially on some scans of 4X5 film I shot more than 15 years ago. Here’s a digital look at their storefront.
