Pilot Knoll Trail on 35mm

In a continuation of the Dubblefilm Jelly experiment I took my camera on the Pilot Knoll Trail. There are some good examples here about how sometimes there is a ton of added color and sometimes the pictures come out with almost no extra color. I really love the pictures of the trails – especially the

Independent Bookstore: Arts & Letters

I was in Granbury, TX recently and while exploring the Granbury square realized they had a bookstore that I hadn’t been too yet. Arts & Letters is an adorable independent bookstore that I could have explored a whole lot longer if I had had the time. Nerd moment, this shop had all the normal book

Fort Worth Nature Center on 35mm

I decided to test out some specialty kind of 35mm film. This is not an ad, just me being curious. The film I shot is called Dubblefilm Jelly 200ios. Dubblefilm makes color film that then has a unique color wash over it and every photo comes out differently. Jelly has multiple different colors: red, yellow,

A Pupper Christmas Photoshoot

Main Street Grapevine likes to think of itself as the Christmas Capital of Texas. In the spirit of that idea they have all of these Christmas themed photo opportunity spots. In the evenings Main Street is packed this time of year but during the day isn’t too bad. I took it as an opportunity to

Hiking Pilot Knoll Trails

It rained and was overcast a lot in the last week so when Saturday dawned clear I knew Bear and I needed to get out for a bit. We got a bit of a late start because we had to run some errands first and yes, the trail was muddy. I really wish I had

Lake Worth Monster Hunting

My apologies that this is a bit after Halloween but honestly, it’s never too late for spooky stories. Okay, as much as I love a good monster or cryptid story I would not actually go “hunting” for one. I prefer to read about them. That being said, I did recently go hike at the Fort

Denton Square: 35mm Film Review

… and Bear (because he is cute). So I have been playing with some new film. All of these photos were taken on our Pentax K1000 with a fixed 50mm lens. I do have another lens for this camera but honestly, I rarely use it. I like the simplicity of the fixed focal length. When

2024 Texas State Fair

The Texas State Fair is almost over but of course we had to visit and try a ridiculous amount of fair food (check out the short video below). We had a ton of fun trying new things and looking at the exhibits, seriously those artisans that enter quilts, handmade clothes, and other art are ridiculously

Blush: Romance Only Bookstore

I really should do a post about all my favorite local bookstores but while I round up that list I did want to tell you about a new bookstore in Dallas: Blush Bookstore. No, this isn’t sponsored but I did stand outside for half an hour in the October heat for their grand opening weekend.

Football on Film

At the start of the football season I had the opportunity to join Keltin on the sidelines for the Tarleton versus Baylor game. Yes, unfortunately Tarleton did loose this game. That being said, the photos came out pretty awesome. I shot these on our Pentax K1000 using black and white Kodak 3200ISO film, shot at
