Lauryn was photographed at Seaport Village, a cute shopping center near downtown San Diego. I haven’t been there in years! I used to work at the cookie shop formerly known as Paradise Bakery. It was nice walking around, taking pictures and hanging out with Lauryn and her parents.
Lauryn’s mom is my oldest friend, Allyson. She and I met when we were just about Lauryn’s age. And for those of you who know Allyson, her daughter is practically a carbon copy of her! Too cute!
Everyone, please meet Princess – a perfect name Lauryn picked for this beautiful horse.
I love how the photos came out! You truly captured Lauryn’s personality! They’re awesome and I can’t wait to share them! Allyson
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.
