Cinestill 400D
This was my first go with a roll of Cinestill 400D. I realize that some people may appreciate the look, but it’s really not my style. I will stick with Ektar 100, Portra 160, and Portra 800 for my color work. So here are a few samples and I welcome feedback from others who have…

The Best of Grenada with Mandoo Tours
When we travel, we’re not much for tours. We rent a car and explore the island on our own, relying upon historical markers, maps, and conversations here and there. However, when I take a tour, like we did on the island of Grenada with Mandoo Tours, I question why we don’t do tours on every…
