Love the sparkling details of a rain forest. Shot on a Nikon F3 through a Nikkor 50mm/1.8 onto #35mm TMax 100 that I developed in 510 Pyro pushed to ~160. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin

A quick walk through a rainforest Shot on a Nikon F3 onto #35mm TMax 100 (bit of a push in dev) through a 50mm/1.8 dev’d in 510 Pyro #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin

@tomnorthfilm.bsky.social Hey Tom, the Retina has arrived and I'm beyond elated. I might be misremembering a conversation, but are you a wearer of glasses? I have a tendency to mash rangefinders into my glasses without thinking and lost a lens to this already. I'm slow to learn from mistakes...

Glad my mom's visit got to coincide with me having a print hanging at the Ford Gallery in Portland πŸ™ #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin

I had a few day trips scheduled last week in hopes of shaking the dust of a broken brain off my shoulders, but as luck would have it, the week turned to chaos and it didn't pan out. Here's some from my most recent, yet too distant outing along the Columbia River. #35mm #believeinfilm #eck

I'm still around. New stuff getting shot this week, I hope. Shot on a Nikon F3 through a Nikkor 50mm/1.8 with a deep red filter onto #35mm Ilford FP4 dev’d in 510 Pyro #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin

I've got some work up at Lightly Spiced Gallery in downtown Vancouver, WA as of today. There's a ribbon cutting for the gallery taking place tomorrow at 4pm. If you're local to the area, come by! I'll be there all afternoon and would love to meet you. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck

Hey alright 8x10 silver gelatin contact print, selenium toned #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin #tidesouttuesday #scape

Beautiful day for a little 4x5 on the Columbia River, albeit bright as all hellfire. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin

Quick snapshot during a hike in the North Cascades. #35mm HP5 pushed to 800 in 510 Pyro #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin #forestfriday #photographyofbluesky

And there it is, living nicely under glass. 8x10 selenium toned silver gelatin contact print on Ilford FB Glossy and under that fancy museum glass #believeinfilm #eastcoastkin #eck #filmphotography #stunday #blueskyartshow #scape #darkroom

Coastal hike shot on #35mm Acros Nikon F3, Nikkor 50mm/1.8, dev'd in 510 Pyro #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin #pnw #analog

8x10 @ilfordphoto.com FP4+ It's a strange thing to post a mistake like this, considering the lack of any intentionality, but the portrait/landscape orientation just happened to work out in a pleasing way. #stunday #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eastcoastkin #eck

Another 4x5 from the North Cascades I think this was Ilford Delta 100 with a red filter #forestfriday #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin

Meyers Beach at golden hour, shot on 8x10 @ilfordphoto.com Delta 100 dev'd in 510 Pyro Winds were insane and I still don't know got away with a sharp image. I'm happy with this one. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin #tidesouttuesday #rockintuesday #photographyofbluesky

Natural Bridges in Fog - Oregon Coast Tachihara 8x10, Nikkor 300mm/5.6, @ilfordphoto.com FP4+, dev'd in 510 Pyro #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eastcoastkin #eck #scape #landscapephotography #photographyofbluesky #film

Harsh light is rarely flattering, but I do like how it makes the geology pop. 4x5 @ilfordphoto.com FP4+ dev'd in 510 Pyro #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin #scape #landscapephotography #classicmono

Really looking forward to sharing the final Natural Bridges in Fog print, once I decide what version I like. 8x10 contact print on Ilford FB paper and selenium toned. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin

#believeinfilm friends, I could use some guidance on this one. My beloved Nikon FM2 seems to be scratching my film? These are from two different rolls. The stripes are fairly consistent on where they appear, but they're not on every frame I shoot. Any ideas on how best to diagnose/address this?

Washington Pass in the North Cascades on large format film. @ilfordphoto.com 4x5 FP4+ n-1 dev thanks to those brutal mid-day sun highlights on the snow Nikkor 300mm/5.6 @ f/45 #believeinfilm #filmphotography #eck #eastcoastkin #forestfriday #scape #landscape

The time has come for me to concede and increase the text size on my e-reader. Only a matter of time before I add this phone to cart.

Also looking for any day-hike recommendations for the area on the off chance someone here has any insight. I definitely will be going back to shoot more intentionally..

Over the last 2 days I've developed 5 rolls of 35mm, 10 4x5s, and 8 8x10s. About half of that is scanned, and a handful of those were converted because damn, I was just so excited to see a few shots from the North Cascades and the southern Oregon Coast. Anyway, I'm tired, boss. #believeinfilm

Big fan of these dunes when no one else is around. A rare roll of TMax 100 for me. #believeinfilm #eastcoastkin #filmphotography #eck #35mm #blueskyartshow #quiet #pnw
