oliver at ten months

I took these of Oliver just to finish a roll of Ilford HP5 that I really wanted to develop. I am glad I did because they turned out beautifuly. I love the look that HP5 gives. There is something about true black and white film that creates timeless looking images. It is a look that I am convinced cannot be duplicated with a digital camera, especially when printed. The prints from this film are unbelievable.

As a side note I took these photos, processed the film then printed some of them in less than an hour. The first image I printed to 17x22 and hung above Oliver's crib.

sharp family

These are a few photos of the Sharp Family. Jamie and Abby have a beautiful family, and their children's little personalities make them hilarious to hang out with.

All of these photos were taken with a Contax 645 on either Fuji 160S or Ilford HP5. Yes, that is film.
