Dec. 16, 6 Frames with my 27mm Lumenbox Lens
Long time readers will have seen shots similar to this before. When I first got my Lumenbox, Jorge Otero (inventor of the Lumenbox and other amazing cameras) sent me a 27mm Lumenbox lens to experiment with. I crudely adapted it to fit a Barnack rangefinder by drilling out a body cap and gray tacking the…

July 19, Ghost Buildings;
So this is another comedy of errors sort of thing. I’m working on a film developer made from sagebrush (artemesia tridentata), and I’m testing a few different film stocks with it to get a feel for how it responds before I publish an article on it. Today I shot a roll of Lomography Fantome Kino…

July 9, 5 Frames of Lomography Low Iso Color with the 27mm Lumenbox Lens
I think I’ve only used Low ISO Color negative film once before, I remember not being all that impressed. I think I used it with a zone plate or photon sieve, which both tend to desaturate images and lower the contrast. I thought the previous low iso photos were pretty blah, but I was pleasantly…

May 27, 5 Frames of Reno Fever Dream in Blue!
Note: If the intro to this article seems a little odd to readers of this blog, it’s because this is a rough draft of an article that I plan to submit to 35mmc. Call me lazy, but I didn’t want to write essentially the same article twice. In my last article for 35mmc I mentioned…

And a Few More Frames of Downtown Reno
with my 27mm Lumenbox lens, Canon IVSb2 and Film Washi A. I think this one was taken from the Lake Street bridge over the Truckee. The Virginian Agh, my history of downtown Reno is absolute shit. This was a major hotel/casino in Reno for a long time, it wasn’t the Virginian at that time, but…

April 29, Seven Frames of Downtown Reno Fever Dream
I’m having surgery this morning so yesterday I thought I’d better go for a walk while I still can. I thought it might be interesting to shoot a roll downtown with some Washi A and the 27mm Lumenbox lens which seems like a synergistic combo for the kind of thing I’m going for. I mostly…

April 20, Trees
And even more photos from my recent roll of Film Washi A shot with my 27mm Lumenbox lens on my old Canon IVSb2. As the title indicates, these are all about trees in the landscape.

April 19, And the B Roll
Of recent photos from my bike ride around Reno with my 27mm Lumenbox lens on the Canon IVSb2. Shot with Film Washi A leader film, developed in Cinestill Df96 monolith for 14 minutes. Most of this bunch are from the Wells Ave area where I live.

April 18, Five Frames of Reno Fever Dream
I went for a bike ride, mostly out 4th Street and back which is the old Lincoln Highway. I brought my Canon IVSb2 with the 27mm Lumenbox lens on it. I’ve been meaning to try Film Washi A for some time now as Washi S is one of my favorite films. Washi S is repurposed…

April 6, And the rest…
Of this series with the 27mm Lumenbox lens. Some of these were damaged by my Ars-Imago Lab Box, but I don’t think that takes away from the images. Several of these were shot at Renown hospital.

April 5, Tree Swirl
This is another shot from my 27mm Lumenbox lens adapted to my old Canon IVSb2. Shot on Agfa Copex Rapid at ISO 50 and developed in Caffenol.

March 27 Five frames of fever dream with a 27mm Lumenbox lens
I think that I first stumbled upon Jorge Otero’s wonderful little Lumenbox on Etsy when I was searching for pinhole cameras. The Lumenbox is very much not a pinhole camera, it uses a simple meniscus lens to achieve a wonderful swirly distortion that I was immediately entranced with. I wound up buying a Lumenbox as…
