Engagement Shoot We took Nick's cousin, Kelley, and fiancé, Marty, to Vaughan's Woods in Hallowell on a Sunday morning for their engagement photos. Nick felt like a clumsy tourist with his GoPro, Polaroid, film Canon, and Nikon D60 cameras. Anna brought here trusty Pentax 645 and Nikon D3300. Poses vs. Natural Look One thing we...

It's been a while since I last wrote about Garry Winogrand, but I wanted to share a brief update on my attempt at emulating him. Garry was known for nearly shooting from the hip. Nearly. He brought the camera up and quickly snapped his pictures. It didn't even seem like he had time to focus,... Continue Reading →
Over the past two months, Anna and I worked to create a class on Udemy to cover the fundamentals of film. In the course is everything from picking your camera and film stock to developing to scanning and sharing. When we first began our film journey (together, at least), we agreed that a basics class...

The Canon EOS 650 was the first camera in the EOS line and used the EF lens mount. It's also the first SLR with an LCD interface I received. I say that because it was a gift (again: one of the best ways to lower the costs of film photography). After I was given the... Continue Reading →

Anna bought a Polaroid camera for my birthday back in August. The light green Polaroid Now camera is a lot of fun. In this review,... Continue Reading →
Garry Winogrand (1928-1984) For someone who disliked being called a street photographer, that is what Garry Winogrand is known for. He preferred the general title "Photographer." It allowed him to not be stuck to one type of photography. Garry worked to photograph life. He said: the true business of photography is to capture a bit... Continue Reading →
I am curious about people: their backstories, personalities, quirks, the reasons they act. Tin types were a way of capturing moments in time and the people involved. They were some of the first pictures I looked at and they instilled in me a love for history along with the desire to capture moments myself.
Welcome to Between 2 Lenses: a collaboration between two people! Two perspectives, really! Each of us (Anna and Nick) bring a unique viewpoint to this endeavor. We want to share, in our own way, what we've learned from film photography. If you were to search film photography on YouTube, which we imagine you have, you'd... Continue Reading →
