These photos were shot with Fuji Pro 400H on my Minolta Maxxum 500si with a 50mm f1.8 lens. This camera was the first Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera I owned. It hasn’t been used much the past few years so it was nice shooting with it at the Film is Not Dead workshop.
I plan to upgrade my film camera sometime in the future but in the meantime, I’m going to pull out a Pentax 6×7 next month and shoot some personal work with that! It was loaned to me by my friend Matthew Millman. It’s huge, heavy, clunky and totally analog. Thanks, Matt!

With the digital age in full swing, is film ancient history? I’m telling you – it is not!
Film is Not Dead is a workshop by Jonathan Canlas (kahn las’) – a 100% film shooter. I am a great admirer of his work. He brought his workshop to San Diego for 3 days. It was a great opportunity to learn from him and my peers in my hometown.
I was trained on film but the past 3 years or so, my film camera was tucked away, overshadowed by my Canon 5D. I wanted to get back into film and incorporate it in my work. For the first 2 days, my 5D stayed behind. It was strange and refreshing at the same time.

Hector proposed to Melina on a very famous street in San Francisco. Known for its crooked brick road and beautiful city view, Lombard Street attracts many tourists and locals. It is a very special place for a very special moment! Congrats to Hector and Melina!
Hector and Melina met through a sport they both truly love – football, a.k.a. soccer. Their shared passion runs deep in their veins and in their culture. One day, they will teach the sport to their future children. In the meantime, after work, twice a week, they play in leagues. Football helps them unwind and bring them closer together.

A few hours before their civil wedding, Ordie and Maria wanted their engagement photos taken near their home in San Francisco.
These lovely high school sweethearts migrated to the US from Ghana. Currently, Elizabeth is living in Atlanta and Emmanuel works in San Francisco. As the saying goes, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder.” After a few years of courtship, Emmanuel proposed and they will be getting married soon!
