KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Morning exploring in the Oregon dunes with Zelda. I recently started shooting film and was excited to test out Porta 800. After an hour of exploring, Zelda and I heard a pack of coyotes in the nearby woods. It sounded uncomfortably close so we decided to quickly explore in the opposite direction. After our unplanned cardio session, we stumbled upon this spot where we found our shot.

Dear little sister, it's true I am your 1st boss 😆 but will be your forever friend 🧡 I love you

Sunday walks.  The littest wanted to watch the horses in the nextdoor field, while Dad and Luca started on the footpath.

An outing with my oldest sister, taking a moment before seeing a movie. 

Took a solo trip to Paris and wondered the streets of Paris after going to the popular tourist spot to see the tour and stumbled on a park with this view and I was one of only 3 people in this spot. So naturally I had to get a pic!

I really liked the style and energy of this lady I saw in Sapanca, where we went for a trip. I photographed it in the wonderful nature and greenery of Sapanca.

Unconditional love in a single kiss 😘❤️🐾

As a beginner photographer, I had a chance to capture intimate moment of this gorgeous couple. Finding beauty in the tiniest details ♥️

This is a photo of my friend Wyatt seeing Pioneer Peak in Alaska’s Matanuska Valley for the first time. Wyatt currently lives in Georgia and he came to visit me for a few days to see Alaska. I couldn’t help but notice him soaking in the scenery, too stunned to even take a photo. Shot on Ultramax with my Nikon F3.

A self-portrait taken in my yard at sunrise. I enjoy the sun coming through the pines in the morning. I used a Minolta SRT 101 and Kodak Eastman Double-X. 

Snapped a photo of my best friend after our hike to a waterfall.

I was about to light a cigarette, with my camera hanging around my neck, when my boyfriend pointed out that a cat had sat on the statue's crown behind me. I dropped everything to capture it in this photo.  It took only 30 seconds, after which it left. I learned that you always have to be in the present moment when taking pictures, otherwise, who knows what you might miss?!

A surfer waiting for the right moment to get into the water at Bronte. The swell is relentless, entering can become difficult and timing it between sets is key.

That was one of those moments when I thought to myself, "Oh yeah, I've got this!" I sat to relax and admire the beauty of nature, mountains, fog, tranquility, and the sun that was about to set. After walking up the mountain for more than 7 kilometers, I felt truly happy and relaxed.

Bridal shower

Venturing into the heart of Hokkaido's rugged landscape with nothing but my trusty film camera was an experience unlike any other. As I embarked on this photographic odyssey, I found myself immersed in a world of raw beauty and untamed wilderness.

Quiet moments in a surfing town —

Together with two of my friends we drove up north to a remote beach where we went in for a quick swim in the sea. This is when I took this photograph.

Stella smiles!

My wife, Madison, walking our golden retriever puppy, Athena, for the first time at McConnell’s Mill State Park in Pennsylvania. Athena was so excited she was practically bouncing them down the trail in front of me. I ducked to the side and quickly snapped this with my Pentax 67 on Ektar 100 I had intended on using for the fall colors.

I love film photography for its unpredictability and imperfections, for the way it‘s able to capture the feelings that were felt in a particular moment through grain and contrast and shadow and light. When I will look at this picture that I took in bangkok in 5 or 10 or 20 years I hope it does that for me - bring back the feeling of standing there in a temple overlooking the chaos called bangkok, 3 months of traveling ahead of me and hundreds of memories that are yet to be made. 

A Japanese family's daily life at night

A San Francisco local shows us how to not take this beautiful city for granted. 

Hiked down the beach with a medium format and some Portra 400 and got these cool portraits of Skye, I can say the weather was on our side this time with these beautiful colors. 

It was a sunny day at Coogee Beach, and I was sitting on the Coogee Rainbow Walkway, observing the people around me. A family consisting of a father, mother, and son passed by, coming close to where I was seated. The child showed his excitement and curiosity as he ran around, laughing joyfully. After that, the mother left somewhere, leaving the child to sit down next to his father and listen attentively to what he showed points of interest around the beach.

In this moment of connection between father and son, a warm sense of nostalgia touched me. It was a simple yet profound moment.

Waiting for your best moment... the ride!

It's our Daddy's 40th Birthday!!! 🎁 🎉🎂

Happy Birthday Daddy. We love you SO much. Thanks for the adventures, the dining room footy matches, the snacks, the treats, the shoulder lifts & the lols. You really are the BEST (& apparently the most fun even though mum is NOT happy about us saying that!).

congratulations

Willow Rose officially is in kindergarten!

My dear friends, Maya and Maddie, on Maya’s golden birthday. We spent the night camping and then went to the beach. I feel so lucky to get to capture special moments for them.

The moment I captured is a memory of my culture. Hot days of kids playing, and other folks in the neighborhood sitting outside to enjoy the sun. Whether it’s getting their hair done, or just taking in the small moments of life. 

Adorable kittens

My birthday party

A moment in which we stop and analyze both sides of ourselves, the good side and the bad side. As the caption on my feed says!

During the dry winter in Minnesota 2023, I decided to take a trip to Miami with my Girlfriend to meet her family. We had an evening at her childhood home over south in Miami Florida after a full day of thrifting and shopping for clothes. 

We shared stories memories and culture through the lens of Blackness and enriched our happiness enjoying the warmth of the tropical sun. 

Captured is a self-portrait of I and my significant other, Dalayni Etienne hugging each other before enjoying our night with the family. 

It is an honor to be given this opportunity and I hope to gain more in my future of film photography!

A real #KodakMoment ! 

Enjoying the sunset

I took this photo as part of a series of film portraits when I was documenting a 3-day wedding celebration with my husband Nahuel Aseff. I was capturing moments of the guests and landscapes on film and it was taken in Punta Mita, Mexico.

Picnics with friends are always a good idea!

A moment of peace before the hustle and bustle of life begins.

On my Moms 60th Birthday my sister in law, my brother, my parents and I went for a little walk with their dogs. The light and the moment was just so beautiful, so I had to capture it.

culturally inspired graduation portrait shot in Duluth, MN

My sister and I have always grown up traveling the national parks together. We were there for my grandparents celebration of life. Our grandparents always took goofy photos of us having fun in these beautiful places. It only felt right to keep the  tradition going.

Romantic is the most beautiful mood

It was a pretty afternoon at Athens pride. Love was all around me. People of all ages were there to share it. A little girl was enjoying the carefree feeling.
