I’m a lifelong learner with a passion for photography. I envision this channel as a space where we’ll explore a wide range of topics, all bound by a common thread of curiosity, creativity, and experimentation. I find the world to be an endlessly fascinating and beautiful place, and my goal is to keep discovering all it has to offer. I’d love for you to join me on this journey and hopefully, we’ll learn a few things along the way.

10,000 is an insanely huge number. A year ago I couldn’t have ever imagined getting to this point. Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to watch my videos. This journey has been absolutely unreal. I’ve been a little preoccupied with my “real” responsibilities recently but, I’m really excited for what’s next! Working hard on getting back to a more regular upload schedule. Thank you again for being part of this journey with me!

Unfortunately YouTube compression really did a number on the images and video in my recent Dehancer review. I'm pretty disappointed since the real results look so much better than what made it through upload. I didn't realize that this is a well known issue with film grain and video compression before posting. So I put together an article on my website that better shows what the examples actually look like.

There is still some jpeg compression and slight resizing done automatically outside my control. So it's not perfect but a lot better than the video compression. Look for the section titled high res before/after.
Currently working on figuring out a good way to share some full quality examples.

A while back I had some stickers made for my self with the channel logo featuring the 2024 total solar eclipse. Now I've released a version anyone can grab to support the channel.
Total solar eclipses are one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. Since I know a lot of people are as fascinated by them as I am and may not want "merch" I'm considering offering a version with no logo. Let me know what you think.
I want to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you for being part of this YouTube/Photography journey with me. Anyone who uses the link in this post will get 20% off for a limited time.

I recently got my hands on more expired Tri-X film. This batch expired in 2000 and was reportedly frozen since new. In my video about the first batch of expired Tri-X I didn’t discuss base fog, so I wanted to share some thoughts here.
The first photo has an uneven light source, so I apologize for that. My setup isn’t large enough to compare three 120 negatives at once. I was surprised to find that the Tri-X from 1983 and 2000 show very similar levels of base fog. Without backlight, both expired stocks appear very dark, while modern 400TX is almost completely clear.
For those following the Photography Made Simple series, the next video is also in progress, so keep an eye out for that.
