I’ve had success with Revolog’s boutique “Tesla” film, which came pre-printed with electrical strikes.ย All I do is shoot the film, and hope that the lightning strikes appear in the right places.ย And thus came the award-winning Jesus Saves photo.

Read MoreL-Ken’s and a “Spearmint.”
Last Sunday.ย A beautiful, sunny day that visually masked a bone-chilling wind. At some point in time, they’re going to tear down that beautiful L-Ken’s advertising sign on Central Avenue.ย But until they do… I’m going to use it as a go-to-shoot-and-see-what-happens part of my photography experiments.

As I’ve become more comfortable with my Russian panoramic camera, I’ve decided it’s now time to see if I can properly align my shots to look more natural.
