Exploring the church and cemetery at Drumcliffe
We drove to Drumcliffe twice that day, first on a misty morning, but then again after dinner after the clouds dissipated and the sun shone. Drumcliffe is a village in County Sligo in northwest Ireland. It has roots to the sixth century, when St. Colmcille founded a monastery here. A church and cemetery stand near…

Your humble photographerNikon F2AS, 50mm f/2 AI NikkorFujifilm Neopan 100 Acros2016 When I took my son to Crown Hill Cemetery for some portraits, I asked him to shoot mine, too.

A terraced cemetery in Ardara
Margaret and I loosely followed the Irish coast as we worked our way south from Ireland’s northern tip. This frequently put us on the Wild Atlantic Way, a byway of sorts that traces the entire western Irish coast. When we figured out what it was, we decided to follow it wherever we could. This led us…

Strolling with a Nikon F3 and Kodak Plus-X
The more Kodak Plus-X I shoot, the more I love it for its rich blacks and low grain. I wish I could shoot it forever. Alas, Kodak discontinued it four years ago. It was only through the Film Photography Project’s cache of cold-stored expired stock that I had any at all. But now it’s out of…

The dying and the dead: a military cemetery on Kodak Ektar 100
It happens that I follow some photobloggers in the UK. They’ve been sharing rainy autumn photos lately, while here in the great Midwest it’s been mostly sunny, as usual. So consider this post a counterpoint: autumn in brilliant sunshine. I like to give my Nikon F2AS regular exercise, so a few weeks ago I filled it…
