We’re back from the interview hiatus! Well, sort of. I was really busy yesterday and didn’t have the time to sit down and focus on a post, so your film photog Friday is now a Saturday. No worries though, you’ll get to see some really pretty slide film examples from Maryland photographer, Kevin Grall. What…
I’ve always been fascinated by war photography. Photographing requires patience, composure and skill all at once. To do that in the middle of a battlefield is something that is nothing short of magical. I really don’t know how war photographers think, or how they manage to compose and focus their shots in the middle of…
The National Gallery of Art in D.C. is having an exhibit featuring photography manipulation before Photoshop. Photographers have been manipulating and editing their images long before we had fancy editing software.

I recently came across a really interesting interview with photographer Norman Jean Roy. It was asking the question “Is digital killing fashion photography?” My personal opinion is that no, I don’t think digital is killing anything but I do think that it hinders photographers from taking their time. I know that when I photograph a…

Today’s film photographer is Joe Sterne! He loves challenges and continues to use film to explore different viewpoints. He has a yearly project called,…
