35mm Film | Shot On Pentax K1000

This 35mm film camera is one of my favorites because it’s manual but is still simple and straightforward to use. It’s a late-70s vintage model, and I like how sturdy it feels. It’s pretty heavy for its size. For now, I only shoot in natural light. I usually use Kodak Gold 200 film, but have experimented with Kodak Portra 400. Most of the photos I shoot on this camera end up having a soft, vintage feel which I really like.

Polaroid Film | Shot On SX-70, Model 1

This instant film SLR camera is really fun to work with. I love the old look and feel (it’s from the early 70s) and it folds flat so it’s really portable. There are adjustments for focus and L/D that are simple to use. Taking Polaroids always involves a bit of luck for me, but I think they look really interesting even when I mess up the lighting or focus. This camera requires special film that only works on the SX-70, and it’s expensive so I’m really trying to get more consistent with my results.

35mm Film | Shot On Canon Sure Shot

I really like this camera because it’s very simple to use, and the photos come out really crisp with a good amount of contrast which is different than the Pentax and the Polaroid. It’s a point and shoot with autofocus and a range of ISO options. It’s lightweight and small, so it’s easy to travel with, but it’s also strangely loud, so it’s hard to sneak candids! I usually shoot on Kodak Gold 200 but have tried Fuji Film a few times. My research suggests this camera is from the late-80s or early-90s.

My Neighborhood | Bahama Village

My house is at the crossroads of history and culture in Key West, Florida and sits in the middle of a small section of the Old Town district called Bahama Village. My neighborhood has played a big role in shaping me into an open minded and curious kid, and I’ve spent endless hours skating and biking around with cameras to document my life.
Here’s a little sunset skate around the block. Hope you enjoy the ride!
