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.

The end is very near! I’m going to miss the great characters, adventure, drama and mystery.
Oddly enough, I am going to miss hearing all the different English accents!
And just in case you’re curious, my favorite characters are Mr. Eko, Hurley, Sawyer and Desmond, brotha.
In honor of the finale event, here are some of my favorite photos from my tropical collection.
