These photos are from a few different rolls that I took with my Pentax MX 35mm camera using either Kodak Portra 400, Kodak Ektar 100, Kodak Gold 400, or Fuji Superia 400.

Being mainly an outdoor/adventure photographer, I have been experimenting with different films and styles of shooting to create a unique image that is different from the classic DSLR shots of the pros today. Although I do shoot digital still, I really enjoy shooting with film for the fact that you have to make each shot count. It's about quality over quantity with film. The following are some examples of what I have been working on around the country. Most are outdoors/adventure photos, but there are a few street photos, as well.
