Intro to film photography workshops
My intro to film photography workshop is great for anyone who is curious about giving film photography a try. The workshop instruction includes the use of a 35mm film camera and one roll of color film. It’s geared toward someone who has never shot film or hasn’t in a long time.
This workshop is flexible one on one instruction for a half day on a day that we both have availability.
It’s a great way to try out film photography if you are inspired to join the growing analog photography world. We also cover what to look for in a vintage film camera and how to find them. I have a wide range film of cameras for you to experience hands-on. (I have been accused of having too many cameras!)
Photography experience is not necessary, this is a beginner class and I try and make it as simple as possible. It’s just a quick, fun way to dip your toes into the world of film photography. After completing the class your color film can me processed and scanned at the Camera Company in Madison.

Experienced professional instruction
I have been practicing film photography for 30 years now at a professional level as a national award winning photojournalist and as a fine art photographer with my pinhole and Holga cameras. I mentored for several years under Herb Nelson teaching his film classes. He is an educator with 50 years of teaching darkroom skills at the college level. Herb is now retired, but I am proud to be carrying on his legacy of bringing people into the “dark arts” as he is fond of saying.
I’m also a published author of two photography books. The first is entitled Around Wisco: Hiking the Ice Age Trail where I documented my hike of the entire 1200 mile Ice Age Trail. The second book is Ristad Farms: Grain Farming in the Red River Valley I spent and entire season on a farm in Minnesota documenting life on a modern farm.
My film photography zine Small Towns – Big Spaces was acquired by the National Art Gallery Library in Washington D.C.
I teach digital nature photography workshops as well.
