From 2009-2013, or thereabouts, I carried a Rolleiflex TLR camera with me wherever I went. Almost invariably it was loaded with black-and-white film, which I developed in my bathroom at home. A few weeks ago, I began the process of re-examining the archive of my negatives with the goal of producing a photobook that seeks to make thematic sense of my relationship to photography over the last 15 years. The four photographs shown above may eventually be included in this work.

Here is my current selection of photographs for this project.

Here are brief descriptions of my current projects and a list of abandoned/defunct projects.

Two Views of Long Beach, Tofino by Nathan Jones

I have finally made the transition to Lightroom and Negative Lab Pro. What a difference it has made to the quality of my film scans. Why was I contented for so long by sub-par results? It makes me wonder about other areas of my life in which I am operating sub-optimally.
