Welcome to the Film Photo Community—A No Digital Camera Zone!
Hello and welcome! If you’re as obsessed with the art of film photography as I am, or just exploring film, then you’ve found your new friends. This community is all about celebrating the timeless beauty of film—whether you’re a seasoned pro, a curious beginner, or just someone who loves the magic of analog photography. And let’s be clear right from the start: this is a No Digital Camera Zone.
Why Film Photography?
In a world where it’s all too easy to snap a perfect picture on your phone and where billions of digital photos are taken every day, we’re choosing to do something different. Digital photos, with their instant gratification and flawless results, are just too perfect and too easy. But here, we’re all about making something special, intentional, and, frankly, better.
Film photography is where the magic happens—the unique look, the effort to make it happen, and the skills to get it done. It’s about slowing down, thinking about each shot, and embracing the imperfections that make every image one-of-a-kind. This community is for those who appreciate the craft, the challenge, and the undeniable charm of film.
What’s the Plan?
So, what can you expect here? Well, a little bit of everything that makes film photography so special. I’ll be diving deep into reviews of some of the coolest and quirkiest films out there. Whether it’s a classic black-and-white stock that’s been around for decades or a new experimental color film, I’m here to test it out, share my thoughts, and show you what these films can do.
But it doesn’t stop at film reviews. I’ll be taking you along as I explore some truly amazing locations, capturing the beauty and character of each place through the unique lens of film. From bustling cityscapes to serene coastal towns, no location is off-limits. And of course, I’ll be having a ton of fun along the way—because at the end of the day, that’s what photography is all about!
I will share some tips how to purchase equipment and supplies with great deals. More money you save, more film you can buy.
Gear Talk and Techniques
I’m also a bit of a classic cameras and lenses fan, so you can expect some detailed discussions about the gear I’m using. Whether it’s my trusty Nikon FE with AI-S lenses or my medium format Zenza Bronica, I’ll be breaking down why I love these cameras, how they perform with different films, and the techniques I use to get the best shots. Plus, I’ll be sharing some tips and tricks I’ve picked up over the years—because who doesn’t love a good photography hack?
Moments and Memories
Photography isn’t just about the end result; it’s about the journey. Along the way, I’ll be sharing some of the interesting, funny, and downright weird moments that happen while I’m out shooting. Whether it’s an unexpected encounter with a local or a crazy weather change that completely alters a shot, these moments are all part of the experience—and they make every photo that much more special.

And for those who want to take a piece of this journey home, I’m excited to offer limited edition collectible prints. These aren’t just any prints—they’re high-quality, one-of-a-kind pieces that capture the essence of the locations I’ve visited and the films I’ve tested.
