This is the first frame I shot with my classic 35mm camera. I found it at a antique store here in OKC. Its a beautiful Pentax k1000. The thing I love about this camera is the fact that there is not one thing digital or electronic about it. It is a machine! It forces me to think more when I am making a picture. At the same time it offers a freedom that I didn't expect to find. I also don't think it's possible to recreate the look of film digitally. Sure, you can get close but in the end its really just a reproduction. My intention is to look to the past and bring forward a technique, style and art to my photography that I find more than beautiful. 

When I hold my new (old) camera in my hands I can't help but think of the tradition of the great portrait artists of the past who labored away creating some of the greatest masterpieces of the 20th century with nothing more than wit, smarts and a simple machine in their hands. I aspire to the same thing. I aspire to be more creative and find inspiration in the past, present and the future. I aspire to give my clients something outside of the box. Sure it may not be for everyone and while digital photography will encompass the majority of my photographic workflow, I am going to reserve exclusive "retro" sessions shooting with film only! I am really excited about offering these sessions! Contact me to book a session and lets make some art.
