ORIGIN 8 - The Reverie

Davana & James - 8x10 wet plate collodion tintype in studio.

Working on a film photography project / series. It's going to take a bit more time than I first anticipated. A little stretch of road from 100 Mile to Hope.

The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry.

I have many theories about this considering the Juniper Beach Provincial Park entrance is just on the other side of the highway. Ilford HP5 400 4x5 sheet film.

Aleah - 8x10 Tintype

What I love most about tintypes is how they slow everything down. They ask both photographer and subject to be fully present. The result isn’t just a picture, it’s a one-of-a-kind piece of history in silver and light.

Looking forward to pushing myself out of the studio and creating landscapes with the process.

Keaton & Maddie - 8x10 Tintype

Tri-x 4x5 sheet film shoot with back in 2017. Always a great creative mind.

2017 was a pretty memorable year. Worst wild fire season I had ever witnessed. It affected so many friends and family and If I remember correctly, the evacuation lasted almost a month. We lived in Prince George until we were allowed to return. Upon returning, curiosity brought and I out west to explore some of the aftermath and we ran in to a few friendly folk along the way. We found Rodney dip netting in the Cariboo River and had caught four fish by the time we got there. The smoke was still very heavy in the area.

Bohdi on glass. There’s something about this process that really captures a soul. Through The Looking Glass - 2024.

8x10 Ambrotype shot in studio with Kourtney. This project was for my solo exhibition called Through the Looking Glass at the in . The plate was held with a modified 8x10 film holder that produced a lot of artifacts. Just playing with some carousel ideas for IG. I hear they’re all the rage!

Ah yes, start another page. I felt the need to separate my analog work from my digital work over at ORIGIN 8. Unfortunately I don't fit in a nice and tidy box, I enjoy a wide variety of formats and technologies from the past and present. We'll start this page off with a nice 8x10 tintype of Cailey.
