I finally developed this roll of film that I shot last year at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs.
I shot this roll with my Holga camera and then cross-processed the film (used slide film and then processed it with C-41 chemicals).

Look familiar?
The Culver Studios Mansion is featured as the backdrop for the logo of David O. Selznick Studios.
This image was shot with the new PX 600 Silver Shade film from The Impossible Project.


From a list of 50 engagement session locations that I have put together they chose the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.
I had never been there before and it is an absolutely beautiful place. So many different types of scenery to shoot against.

My friend Kendra Duerst of Kendra Weddings invited me to participate in a photo shoot at the Mastro’s Steakhouse in Costa Mesa.
Kendra hired some amazing models and I met some great new wedding vendors that day.
This Mastro’s Steakhouse location can have weddings up to 100 guests and you have a choice of 4 different room configurations. Let’s be honest nothing beats Mastro’s food or service. Yummy.
