“Gear isn’t important”, I hear this a lot. And in many ways this is absolutely true, but some cameras are just a joy to use (and conversation starters) which help a lot with getting people in front of my camera. So here is a list of cameras that have given me joy.

  • Hasselblad 503CW

    The one camera I will never sell. Some people want their watch to be passed on from one generation to the next, I want my children to get my Hasselblad. All square images (6×6 medium format negatives) are shot on this camera.

  • Chamonix 45N-2

    When I purchased this camera I had no idea I would fall in love with the slow process of large format photography. I love the images it creates, for the stunning quality but also because so much can go wrong in this process which makes me appreciate it so much more.

  • Hasselblad XPAN

    Although this camera unfortunately is not in my possession anymore a lot of the work here is created with this camera. A unique 35mm camera that creates stunning panoramic images.

  • Leica M6

    Maybe the most iconic film camera of them all? If this is in fact true it is for good reason, I just love shooting my M6. Fully mechanical and will last a lifetime …. and beyond!

  • AGO Film Processor

    To keep the cost of film photography down I started developing my own film last year. I have made mistakes, but the AGO film processor keeps it at a minimum and helps with even results.

  • the Lobster Holder

    For scanning my images I use the Lobster Holder gear, for all formats. All three have never let me down and work great in my current setup scanning with a digital camera.
