KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Nice view with my best friend.

This was a day I was home from military duty and was able to take my son to the playground 

Caught a solo performer at a local art gallery. 

Walking by some lifeguards one gloomy day on the coast and was happy to see how perfectly they were all positioned in their bright jackets. Just a snapshot but it turned into one of my favorite pictures from that road trip.

Spending a wonderful time in the south side of Thailand

It's winter, it's snowing, you are out there exploring magic forest with your best friend and it smells like pines

Getting ready for The Nutcracker

A self portrait I decided to capture to create some festive memories with my bump. Created in the hope of recreating with my baby next Christmas 

Santa has earned a much needed nap. Until next year. 

An image captured in the midst of a winter ascent of a peak in The Eastern Sierra. One foot in front of the other, ice axe in hand and crampons on our feet. Cold and so tired, but even more so stoked, to be in such an incredible environment, this is what mountain adventures are all about.

From one of the first rolls of film that I ever shot back in 2021 on my friend Jerrys' Nikon f401 and Kodak Gold. Jerry is also the person featured in the picture.

I took this photo with my Minolta XD11 and using Kodak Portra 400 Film. 

This is my cat, who's instagram is @foximus.maximus, and he was sleeping in his box.

A beautiful morning walk after a severe snow storm in Lake Tahoe. So calm and peacefull.  Had the opportunity to take great shots for Venture Grooming. 

Last light before the sun disappears behind the mountains - Lac des Gaillands

A mom and her young daughter walk up the hill in Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The air is getting cooler, and the leaves are changing, but their loving bond makes this moment seem warm. Their matching pink jackets are like flowers in the lush and green gardens.

My family holiday photoshoot 

This moment was captured with my Pentax 67 using Kodak Ektar 100. I felt quite fortunate to have had Ektar loaded in the camera when I came across this composition. The vivid baby blue of the lake really comes through on this film stock!

Mountain Escape in  Sri Lanka.  Untouched and Enless nature.

I came across this beautiful horse during a hike in Juta, Georgia. There were some clouds and I stood in front of him for about 3 minutes waiting for the perfect light. While I was waiting, I took this photo. As soon as the perfect light arrived, he turned around and walked away.

Dreamy portrait inspired by Shoegaze music.

"You may now kiss your bride." This was snapped the moment the newlyweds kissed, responding to being pronounced husband and wife. 

I captured this moment near the Vistula River in Warsaw. The intimacy of reading together caught my eye.

I always love watching people doing something together, especially reading. What a quality and lovely time spending! 

I just tested my new Mamiya 7 and I wanted to know if I could do nice potraits with the 65mm F4 and with a rangefinder. I never had a rangefinder before accept the BESSA R I tested which belongs to my roommate. 

Just arrived to the hotel in a beautiful sunset and a swan gave me a warm welcome. I felt like i had to take some photos. 📷😊🎄

Friends, just married at the Madonna Inn. A beautiful day celebrating two people who found each other coming together.

With Spring and Summer come little moments of rebirth, like these flowers springing forth from the dirt. A double exposure captured on medium format Kodak T-Max 400.

These photos was taken when my family visited a local park.

With monkeys all around, I quickly took this shot, in an attempt to capture this breathtaking view of the waves crashing against the cliffs of the Uluwatu Template in Bali, Indonesia. It is in moments like this that the continuing desire to experience and appreciate more of the world comes. 

Sunset in the Polish mountains

The streets and parks of Madrid are quite lively with musicians and I had the pleasure of not only enjoying this guitarists' music but also witnessing his radiating joy at the Parque de la Montana. Even though I wasn't able to converse with him due to the language barrier, I truly hope he knows how much joy and life he brought to that corner of the park from him and his guitar. 

The photograph shows my partner caressing a cat in our field. It’s autumn and it’s cold: clothes show it. The rain has also given us a fantastic green: lots of grass. The cloudy day provides optimal light for the scene.

Halfway between a pyramidal composition and a simple double portrait in a natural environment, I like the composition, the lines and especially the photographic film used: Kodak Vision 3 500T (5219), with a great latitude of exposure and a wide detail in lights and shadows.

It was the coldest day in 20 years in Fredrikstad. I'd never shot winter-scenery on film before. My light-meter malfunctioned because of the temperqture, so I had to trust my knowledge regarding reading the light. Im so proud of the results!

Right after a thunderstorm the scene turned pretty idyllic within a few moments, allowing me to capture this peaceful scene on film.

It was shot on Kodak Portra 400 120 film on the Mamiya 7. Developed and scanned by @urbanfilmlab

Meeting up with your friends at the beach before dinner

At Célia’s home, probably while Stan Getz or Fleetwood Mac album was playing 🍃

森林の間から光が降り注いだ日。

September 2023, Poland. One day at the garden plot outside of town. A local cat came by to make a visit and of course, get some food.

She is patiently waiting with those curious eyes, almost like she would be saying
"Ok human. I like you and the cat food you've brought me... but I like your food even more! Gimme some of yours. I want the good stuff." 🤣

🎞 Kodak Gold 200, 35mm film.

Couples photos can be whatever you want them to be, even playing pool at your favorite local bar.

Early bus trip, eyes barely opening up, hazy morning, undeniable views.

My son was super happy we got some snow and even though it was only two inches , he made the best of his experience. 

While in Jamaica, I was walking down on the beach and came upon a gentleman selling souvenirs. As I stopped to look at what he was selling he asked if I was enjoying my vacation. We chatted for a bit then I asked if I could take a picture of him and he agreed. I wanted to not only capture the beauty of the island but also show the beauty of its people.

While walking in the park, we found a secluded place and decided to enjoy the moment

It was a day straight out of an Italian summer dream, sun-kissed and oh-so-glorious, on the enchanting shores of Lake Garda.  You know, the kind that makes you wanna dance like nobody’s watching. Sunlight painted everything in this golden glow, and you could practically taste the dolce vita in the air. The vibrant summer vibe wrapped around us like a warm hug.  But wait, there is more to this day — it was a middle of our honeymoon.

I wasn’t chasing postcard-perfect shots. Nah, I was after something deeper.  It was a special day and for me it was about bottling up the essence of that that Italian summer energy and our youth, preserving it for eternity. And there it was – the magic of everyday life. It was like a symphony of moments, each telling a different story. So for me it is more than just a photo – it’s a piece of our love story that we can revisit anytime we want to relive that magic.

Kranjska Gora moment

A moment in time from an adventure in the beautiful Yosemite national park.

The Shimanami Kaido is a 70km cycle route across Japan’s Seto Inland Sea. The trail runs across six islands connected by some incredible bridges. This was taken on the Innoshima bridge. At 1.3km long it had some pretty special symmetry going on. The light was beautifully soft; diffused through the bridge’s beams with a natural bounce up off the water below. Worth stopping to get the camera and light meter out for!

This is a candid moment of Anna sitting in between a scene during a music video.

I only took one roll of film with me to Japan. And this was the last shot. Took it from the window of a bullet train and thought an unanticipated train station had ruined the shot. Turned out to be the pick of the lot.

Keeping warm in a winter wonderland 

I took a picture of my lover at an old school in Fukushima, Japan.

So, back in 2019 (?) we decided that we wanted to go somewhere else for the weekend in mid January. Since we live in the northeast of Portugal, by the sea, we did a quick research for cool Places in Galicia to visit. We were leaning for places in the countryside away from the multitudes and we faced ourselves with Fragas do Eume, which is one of the best preserved  riverside forest in Europe. In the heart of the forest, hidden in between the oaks you find the monetary of a saveiro (more than 10 century old). Sometimes the vegetation is so dense it barely lets light in. It is magical place and we would blink if an Elf passed by us. 

In that particular Sunday morning the winter sun helped the fog to dissipate and I was lucky enough to shoot it

Walking the cliff lines of San Diego with my friend. Yashicaflex tlr loaded with Kodak Gold 200. The sunset casted a perfectly warm light on her & the oceans blue was just the cherry on top. Wouldn't look this great with any other film. 

My husband and I were watching the wave conditions before heading out for a surf session and I looked to my right and noticed someone else also doing the same thing. In what seemed like a split second I hurriedly picked up my camera and captured the shot. I don’t know if he was prepping for a surf session but I remember observing how peaceful he looked watching those waves dance. Moments like these remind me of how simple and beautiful creatures we humans are.

A moment of peace and tranquility at sunset as I saw the couple walk by with their dogs. It was my last shot of film left and I had a good feeling as soon as I took the photo. Truly capped off a magical weekend with a very special person.
