So I’m going to go splitfilm for my Mid-Hudson Regionals entries.
Many years ago, when I first got involved in photography, I tried establishing my own creative niche, especially in the use of lo-fi film photography. And one of my more successful endeavors involved a concept I called “splitfilm,” where I shot two rolls of film in one camera, or I shot small-format film in medium-format…

A few months ago, I tried my hand with the the San Francisco Bay Month of Photography competition. This is truly an opportunity for me to expand out from competing in local fairs and the like. And in 2014, my elongated photo of a baseball pitcher, The Three-Two Pitch, garnered a Silver Award in the…
