KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Testing out a faulty Pentax with a mandatory mirror shot. To my surprise some shots came through, I love the mix of Kodak Gold and Pentax that makes such a simple shot look so good.

This moment was special to us because we like to be outdoors and enjoy nature. Being in the moment and enjoying the little things is one of the things we aspire to teach our children. Checking out and spending time with family is all that matters.

Taken on Kodak Gold expired in 2008.

Driving from Venice to the Dolomites, we stopped at Misurina. My girlfriend was shooting a video of the lake, and fortunately, I always have my camera around my neck when traveling, so I couldn’t resist capturing the moment.

I love taking pictures of my friends. The sun was too bright that day, we could not escape from it. I tried to take the picture while they were unaware, but my friend Mónica just gave me that look. When I take pictures on film, I don't ever know when I will develop them. The magic comes out many weeks later. This picture is a love letter to the sun and my friends Lyzz and Mónica. 

Part of our morning routine in the office is a joint coffee, which we enjoy on the terrace when the weather is nice. I caught this moment with my colleague.

Bonded with a young W Hotel staff member over analog photography. After discovering that we both got into film photography through inherited cameras from passed loved ones, he was kind enough to pose for a portrait.

I love to highlight people’s beauty in simple forms and on simple backgrounds and on film. I believe, it is when it shines through in the best way.

A beautiful golden hour #KodakMoment on Buttermere, in the English Lake District. This stunning spot is the perfect place to take in the last of the days light, as the wind drops and incredible reflections appear in the water. Captured on Kodak Gold 120 film. 

a moment of fall

This is a seasonal symbol of winter you can see in Japan. The girl drinks a cup of tea on the bed everyday before she go to school.

I was dying to see larches in the fall and for years I waited my turn. We spontaneously found an opportunity to head to Washington State for peak fall a few years ago and had our chance to walk around these beautiful trees. 

Patrick just released his first photobook, “August,” a collection of film photographs taken in the Rockies across Colorado and Wyoming, only during the month of August over several years. This book recounts his summers exploring these two states — it imprints a period of his life he will forever keep.  You can find more information about the book on his website, patrickkoetzle.com. 

This photo captures a moment of pure freedom. A day when I finally let go of everything and embraced the sunny warmth of Dubai. Seeing my reflection in the mirror, I was overwhelmed with gratitude, realizing just how happy and fortunate I am. I'm so glad I chose to immortalize this memory.

Holiday vibes at the Christmas bar!🎄✨

With December comes all the magic of Christmas, and we spent our weekend decorating our tree and the house. It’s heartwarming to see the excitement in our kiddo's eyes.

Reuniting with friends is magical, but doing it during a crisp autumnal Sunday is better ✨

Holiday smiles and festive vibes! Cherishing sweet moments with these little blessings by the Christmas tree. 🎄💖

 Moms, what are your favorite ways to make the holidays magical for your kids? Let’s share ideas!

We love holiday traditions and events that spark children imagination and keep the magic alive. Many places are overcrowded this time of year and this sweet image to remember our trip is nothing short of miracle. 

A baby’s first Christmas is so magical.  Team Santa all the way

Captured a joyful moment at Covent Garden’s iconic sleigh! 🎄✨ Feeling festive and loving the holiday vibes in this magical spot.

I took this photo of Eloïse and Tiago during a break from filming a documentary I’m working on with my agency. Eloïse, together with her partner Matteo, runs a mountain farm in Ostana, in the province of Cuneo (Piedmont, Italy). They both take care of grazing their goats and produce high-quality cheeses using fresh goat milk. They are amazing people who love mountain life and strongly believe in a 'return' to traditional jobs, favoring a less digital life but one filled with experiences and hard work.

There’s hardly a day I don’t walk down to look across the Juan De Fuca Strait. The sunsets always seem to grant a little extra time here. Being mesmerized by the panorama is a bit of a universal experience I think.

It was the first snowfall of the winter, and we had an idea of taking an old gown and shooting in the snow. It was slushy, and very cold, but worth the discomfort in the end!

Golden hour, whether in photography or medical care, represents the delicate nature of time.

In photography, it’s that brief window when the sun casts a soft golden light, suspending the world in a rare glow. In medicine, it’s the critical first 60 minutes after a traumatic injury when rapid care can save a life—a sobering reminder of our fragility.

In both cases, golden hour is a call to recognize life’s impermanence, to be present, to pay attention, act where it truly matters, and to find meaning and joy in the brief but brilliant light we are given.

I’ve always been captivated by the way cities transform on rainy nights. As a child, I was mesmerized by the reflections and the glow of lights in the rain. Inspired by that nostalgia, I decided to capture Montreal’s Chinatown on film using Portra 400, a perfect medium to immortalize the mood and timeless beauty of the scene. This picture quickly became one of my all-time favorites i’ve ever taken!

My best friend and his best friend. 
Happy memories shot on very expired Kodak tmax 3200.

This picture from the Oregon coast captures a quiet sandy beach hugged by cliffs and framed by tall evergreen trees. The calm waves gently lap at the shoreline, while the golden light and classic Portra 400 tones enhance the dreamy, nostalgic feeling of this moment.

I've been to 5 different national parks this year; each has its own defining beauty, but Acadia National Park has captured my heart. This photo was shot on 35mm Kodak ColorPlus 200. 

We just arrived to the beach in Morondava (Madagascar) when we saw children playing in the sand with some bottle caps, simulating a soccer game. I asked them to pose me for a photo and they did not hesitate at all. It was such a candid moment, full of jokes and laughs. The beach was full of life, we had a great time there.

In July of 2024 my brother and his family came to visit me here in Illinois, it had been over 2 years since I had last seen them. I offered to do family portraits for them at the beautiful Deer Grove Forest Preserve in Palatine, IL. I deeply cherish the moments I captured with them during this trip. The portraits were shot my Canon AT-1 using Portra 400.

I took this lovely photo during my friends' wedding, right after the vows. Bringing my analog camera with me was the best decision I could make to give them a physical memory of that amazing day — the negatives were part of the gift. This was taken using a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super (from the '60s) loaded with Kodak Vision3 500T film.

The image captures the purity and joy of three children playing in the reflecting pool on the terrace of Sesc 24 de Maio, in the heart of São Paulo. They run and play barefoot, as the water mirrors their movements, creating a playful scene that contrasts with the imposing architecture in the background. Iconic buildings of the city, such as the Altino Arantes Building, stand out on the horizon, emphasizing the contrast between the rigidity of the urban concrete and the lightness of childhood. The warm tone of the photo adds a nostalgic atmosphere, celebrating the simplicity and charm of a moment that transforms the city’s everyday life into a space for play and relaxation.

something about sitting next to the flowing water with a close friend chatting away soaking in all that's around us

I feel like fall has been extended this season due to the warmer weather!
