SLR Stories: Sears TLS

July 2, 2020

It’s been too long since I sat down and wrote about a camera from my SLR collection – I have been stuck in a weird situation thanks to the film photography gods.

A Walk With My First Ever Film Camera

March 1, 2020

As I’ve acquired almost a dozen film cameras in my time shooting on film you would think some of my older cameras would get left on my shelf as I continue to buy and try new cameras. Honestly, almost the opposite has happened. I’ve made so many unforgettable memories with the first two film cameras … More A Walk With My First Ever Film Camera
