In this episode I had the privilege to chat with Hilary Freed from Harman Technologies. We chatted about her journey with photography, as well as her employment with Harman. We also chatted a bit about some of the film from Harman, especially the recent foray into color film. It was a nice, easy-going conversation.

Enjoy!

In this episode I talk about some of my favorite cameras of all time, the Pentax K Series cameras.

I talk about the K Mount, the KM, KX, K2, K2DMD, and the K1000, and how they continue the tradition of the Spotmatic cameras that preceded them, and how they built upon them. I also talk a little about buying lenses on eBay, and some things to be aware of. In addition, I talk a little about Epson's Digital ICE technology and its plain dust removal technology.

I hope you enjoy, and I thank you for listening.

In this episode, John Roberts, Bill Smith, and Alex Trejo joined me to discuss Pentax, Takumar lenses, K-mount lenses, and adapting lenses, as well as several other things. We also discuss flying with film.

I hope you all enjoy it!!!

In this episode, it's just me, and I'm talking about box cameras.

In this episode, I'm joined by Alex Luyckx, Bill Smith, Brian DuBois, John Roberts, and Mike Eckman to chat all things Nikkormats, a fantastic and well-built line of Nikon Cameras from the 1960's and 1970's. We dive into a bit of the history, why we like them, what differentiated them from the proper F's, and what their successors in the Nikon brand seem to have been in the 1980's and 1990's and beyond. We also dive into some fabulous Nikkor glass, a bit about film and developing, a bit of Canon and Miranda talk, and a super special Nikon F3AF that Mike sniped (just kidding), or rather, received and gave a bit of a review of.

Thanks for listening!!!

In this episode, I touch upon what I said on the last podcast and try to clear it up. Also, I talk about Harman Phoenix II, and...KODAK KODADOLOR 100 and 200!!!

In this episode I chat a little bit with myself and you all about why I love photography. I don't shy away from digital, and actually show some love for the cameras, but spend more time with film. I also talk a little about fall photography and some things I like to do to enhance my fall photography.

Please send me your thoughts as to why you love photography, and what your thoughts are on fall photography. Send any voice memos or typed emails to:

In this episode, Julienne, Suzanne, and I catch up on what we've been doing. Julienne has been in a photographic funk, which is normal for a lot of people. Suzanne has set up her own photo studio. I've compulsively continued to shoot 35mm SLR cameras, where I feel at home. I also make a faux pas, as you'll hear, when I give a correction to Julienne about the Long Trail here in VT, which I regret. But we had a good discussion. Hope you all enjoy, and thank you Julienne and Suzanne, for being my wonderful cohosts!
