On my recent trip to Hutchinson Island, Florida, I shot a roll of Amber D400 Color Negative film and the warm, moody vibes fit the nostalgic beach look so well.

I started my photography a long, long, longlonglonglong time ago on film cameras. I spent my high school and college years shooting with a Pentax K-1000 camera and developing TMAX film in the darkroom.

Recently I got the itch and scoured eBay and picked up a used K-1000. After knocking out a few test rolls to make sure it was in working order, I got crazy and ordered some unique film stocks. Film stocks are the old-school equivalent of Instagram filters as they add certain aesthetic qualities to photos. And since you can’t see the photo immediately after you’ve taken it, it’s a waiting game of fun surprises to get your photos developed and see what you’ve ended up with.
