Film Photography Meetup & Photo Walk
May 30th, 1pm, La Crosse, WI, Bodega
Get food, drinks, and chat cameras!
Invite your analog camera friends!
Bring your favorite camera or bring something weird. 110, 35, 120, 620, 4x5, show us what you are shooting! Bodega is an easy enough place to meet up and talk about analog cameras and film.
We can go on a photo walk after people have collected and want to go outside.
Interested in film photography, but don't have a camera? You can still hang out and learn. If you message me ahead of time, I might have a camera for you to shoot around with.
Any other thoughts? Send them to me.
Stats for nerds:
First photo - Lomography Turquoise 35mm Film
Second photo - Lomography Lobster 200 110 Film

Pink and teal with a mix of emotions.
@themanyfacesofkarina
The studio has been so busy I need to find time to posts more shoots. But this is my final paint shoot until I decide to buy more. The teal back drop came in the day before this shoot and I planned to use if for something else. But when I was testing the pink against the other back drops, the teal became the only option in my mind.
While I would like to think I am a good director, all the credit goes to Karina for all the emotions seen in this set.
Interested in doing a shoot? Lets talk through it. Send me a message!

Pabst, hire me to do a summer tour of PBR around the USA on film.
I'm not a beach person, but I saw people at the beach yesterday, and want to go.

@aidan.redmann CK Shoot 2026
I don't really know what to say. These photos turned out pretty damn good. Aiden joined for a different shoot (soon to be posted), because I always say, bring a friend if it helps make you comfortable. But he also had an interest in doing a shoot, so we scheduled a shoot, and this is that shoot.
Men seem to be trickier to get in front of the camera but I work with everyone, and in many styles, so if you have ever wanted to get in front of the camera, but maybe too shy/nervous, let's walk through that.

This film went through a CT scanner last year because it flagged at the airport. I didn't even get to use it for the trip, but decided to use it afterwards. If you lower the brightness, you can see a waveiness on the film, but it's not super noticeable when viewed like this.

The @silver_diner is probably one of the best-lit places in National Harbor. I walked all around, and these lights really pop compared to everything else. 800T film and the slightly foggy night really help as well.

The haze during the night helped with this shot, but not as much as what I captured at the Silver Diner. I walked past this place multiple times, trying to decide when would be the best time to take a photo. Nighttime in National Harbor has an eerie feeling as the town only really exists for conventions. So at night, everyone clears out, and the streets are empty. I have now been here for lunch and dinner, and both were superb. Get yourself a B.C. Old Fashioned for the cotton candy spectacle.

Late night at the Silver Diner

I think I need to print this one. The whole night had a haze, and this shot really captured it. Also, go to a @silver_diner , sit at the bar, order the Bison Huevos Rancharos, and substitute the tortillas with naan because the sever suggested it. It was a good choice. 9/10 because he forgot my coffee, but in his defense, he really wanted me to have the naan bread.

Sometimes you want to see how well you can shoot at the sun while standing in the middle of the street.

I always look at this building when leaving Riverside Park. It's a La Crosse icon. The rooftop is a nice vantage point for tilt-shift videos as well.
