Analog Photo Classes in Bethlehem PA: Minolta SRT-202 + Tri-X 400
The SRT-202 is arguably one of Minolta’s legendary cameras, fully mechanical and built like a tank it was probably the best camera for a college student like myself to learn on my own. One of the first subjects to land a place on Tri-X was Bethlehem Steel’s former world Headquarters, Martin Tower. A nice gray and misty day added to the challenge of photographing the 23-story blue and white structure from behind the chain-link fences.
Riots in Chile: Nikon FE10 + Kodak Double X

Infrared Universe: Minolta Riva Zoom 75w + Lomochrome Purple
To shoot this series, I used a point and shoot camera I found at the local second hand shop: Minolta Riva Zoom 75w. I like trying out these kind of cameras, they’re easy to use and you can usually find them for under 3 euros. The film that was used is Lomochrome Purple from Lomography.
Neon Austin: Pentax 67 + CineStill 800T
In the weeks before the shoot, I took mental notes of where the most distinct neon signs were anytime I’d pass through downtown Austin. I wanted my Pentax 67 to capture these intentionally created signs that people dedicated to neon lights.

The Swamp Girl: Mamiya RB67 + Fujifilm Pro 160s
Before the water seeped into the fabric and pulled her body down, she looks calm. Latent face with a smile as if her mind would dive deep into limbo. Not struggling or resisting. I tried to convey this emotion through the series of photographs.
