Turn your iPhone’s Live Photos into long exposures and play with motion blur! This is why the iPhone is the only digital camera I carry.

The best camera is the one you have with you ✍️

These days, all I carry are my film cameras (sometimes just a disposable because I like the flash) and my iPhone. This spring I discovered the iPhone’s slow shutter effect and became obsessed 🌀

Have you tried this yet?!

I was sick for 8 weeks. Two-thirds of my summer. Laying on the couch, or in bed, for the last month. Doing the dishes made me winded, and I watched from afar as my daughter learned to ride her bike without me. In the middle of those 8 weeks, before I knew how bad it was, that I should be taking it easy, I went on this huge hike. In the weeks following, I wasn’t sure if I should regret pushing myself like that or be glad to have the memories. I had taken these landscapes with the intention of making double exposures, and when I finally felt well enough to expose the second layer, I wanted to create something that felt like looking back on something, wondering if it was real, wondering if I’ll feel strong again, like looking at my memories through a window 🪟

An absolute dream hiking God’s Thumb with Jonny Luczycki - we both went into “location scouting” mode, and then we got rained out… but not before he made some magic on the canvas.

I hope this is how you remember your summer 🌊

I took five film cameras to Disneyland, and here’s what I learned: don’t take five film cameras to Disneyland 🤭

(Breakdown of all five cameras below)

Even though I got some really sweet memories, balancing so many cameras caused me to make some really preventable mistakes. For example, I left my Holga in bulb mode for half a roll 😵‍💫

If I were to do this again, I’d take just one Kodak fun saver per day and the holga!

Fun saver: easiest way to grab memories. Flash is always charged and ready to go, love how the plastic lens renders shadows behind the flash. Best Disneyland camera!

Kodak Sport: similar effects of the fun saver, but no flash on board. Probably could have just consolidated down into a basic disposable with flash.

Reto: I love the wide angle, and this is a small camera that doesn’t take up too much room in a bag. But at Disneyland, you REALLY don’t want to carry anything extra. Since there’s no flash, I might leave this one at home next time.

Ricoh FF 3D… this one back focused 95% of the time. But I love the super strong, glowy flash, and these photos are some of my favorite from the trip. Iconic!

Holga: accidental bulb mode. Flower double exposures. Despite the operator errors… I came home with some really cool photos from this one. I’d do it again!

Which one is your favorite? 📷

I made these images weeks ago, but didn’t share them because I thought the project failed when I didn’t get the 35mm frames to line up perfectly for the “blind” double exposures. But then I looked again… 👀

If you haven’t been yet… it’s getting close to peak bloom. Get yourself over there with your favorite film camera and have a picnic 🧺 you’ll thank me later!
