I’ve been wrong about technology before. In the late 1980s, I sat in front of a computer and said — out loud, with full conviction — “Who on planet earth needs a mouse?” The keyboard was everything. The mouse was a toy for people who couldn’t type. I was spectacularly wrong. And now, after decades on Windows — I’ve done something I genuinely never expected: I switched to a Mac. https://photography.myvortexcloud.com/blog/nas-migration-guide

Three editions. Three ways of seeing. A photographic essay shot entirely on medium format film — from church interiors in Montreal and Boston to the canyons of Arizona to an ordinary street in autumn. This is the making of The Doors of Perception. #filmisnotdead #photography #zine https://youtu.be/b6U0J3_k5B0?si=uTm3ELHIVG2uToI5

The Doors of Perception - What the Land Remembers The second edition of my photographic essay series. Four movements — Confinement, Character, Expansion, Seeing Shot on medium format b&amp;w film across Utah and Arizona with the infamous Pentacon Six TL, handheld. No digital capture. It&#39;s not a travel book. It&#39;s not about showing nice pictures. It&#39;s about relearning to see. The Doors of Perception — What the Land Remembers #pentacon #photography #theartofseeing...

Somehow, it’s already March 2026 😉 Over the past year I kept returning to the same places near home with medium-format film cameras — and realized the familiar doesn’t get boring, it gets deeper. Here’s the story behind From My Front Door — Second Look. #AnalogPhotography #MediumFormat #FilmPhotography #OneFrameAtATime #zine https://photography.myvortexcloud.com/blog/from-my-front-door-second-look

Three photographic zines. Two medium format film cameras. One deliberate practice. The Pentacon Six TL and the Zeiss Ikon Ikonta — 6×6 and 6×9, Ilford film, no motor drive, no chimping. Just light, intention, and a finite roll. #MediumFormat #FilmPhotography #AnalogPhotography #Zine #Pentacon #ZeissLens https://youtube.com/shorts/G8hAu3wh6m8?si=SLSiPaVziSARXRMv

Just finished my third zine — The Doors of Perception, Edition 1, 2026. A photographic essay on thresholds, shot one frame at a time on medium format film. The concept runs from Blake to Huxley to Morrison — and into my own thinking about what it means to really see. Full post on my blog — link below. Would love to hear your thoughts. 📷 https://photography.myvortexcloud.com/blog/doors-of-perception #FilmPhotography #MediumFormat #Zine #AnalogPhotography
