Slide Film Sunday: A day at the sandbar on Lake Minnetonka. Very happy to have captured it on slide film, one of the most relaxing places to visit. 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Fuji Velvia 50 🧪 HC-110 (Dilution A, 105°F) & RA4 #believeinfilm #slidefilm #35mm #lakeminnetonka

He/Him. Motorcycle mechanic who spends too much on film & fancy markers. More of my art available at: samwanous.com
This one was just for me. Wanted a photo of this building, not for its architecture but because it was the former office of Tom Peters (Midwestern Bernie Madoff) who ran a Ponzi scheme there and the image of it on the news has been in my brain for almost 20 years, so I captured it on film
2017 helping my friend an former housemate move from DC to Denver. I parallel parked her Forester with a UHaul trailer in Chicago and Kansas City, still one of my proudest accomplishments.
Post a picture of you from another era 📸 (Riga, March 2012. One of the very few photos of me where I truly was happy and wasn't just smiling for the camera.)

Slide Film Sunday: A bit of ice cream after being in the sun all day. Sebastian Joe’s is one of those places that feels frozen in amber. I’m glad my photo of it turned out, still learning this photography thing 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Fuji Velvia 50 🧪 HC-110 & RA4 #believeinfilm #35mm #slidefilm
Found a cool Vespa at Maynard’s One thing I really miss when driving a car is the ability to park almost anywhere on a bike. 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Fuji Velvia 50 🧪 HC-110 (Dilution A, 105°,6.5min) & RA4 #believeinfilm #slidefilm #motosky
Other photos from the museum. Excited to visit during the Imperial & Nash rolling exhibit. 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Ilford Delta 100 🧪 HC-110 (Dilution D, 7min) #believeinfilm #35mm #ilford
I visited the Hershey Transportation Museum this weekend and attempted to shoot 100 speed film indoors without a tripod. Surprised with how good it turned out. Will post a carousel of other museum photos later 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Ilford Delta 100 🧪 HC-110 (Dilution D,7min) #believeinfilm #35mm
Some scenes from Harrisburg, Pa. We got a lovely dinner there on the way back from the car museum in Hershey and I persuaded Aaron to go for a walk to snap some photos after. 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Ilford Delta 100 🧪 HC-110 (Dillution D, 7min) #fridayfavourites #believeinfilm #35mm
Adding a carousel of other shots from the Museum of Russian Art Mostly Ektachrome, the last 3 photos are iPhone pictures.
Slide Film Sunday: The Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis is a must see. Both my partner and I both found pieces there that captivated and stuck with us. And of course I had to capture the exterior on Ektachrome. 📷 Olympus SuperZoom3500 🎞️ Ektachrome 🧪 HC-110 & RA4 #slidefilm #believeinfilm
There are few places on earth more relaxing or enjoyable than Lake Minnetonka. I feel really lucky to have to opportunity to visit it while trying to capture its timeless beauty. 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Fuji Velvia 50 🧪 HC-110 (6.5min A, 105°F) & RA4 #believeinfilm #slidefilm #lakeminnetonka
Enjoying a beautiful day on the water. I shot Ektachrome in my Olympus Point & Shoot Though I’m happy with how I developed it my squeegee shed rubber across the roll again. New blades will fix it. In the meantime I’ll have to learn to live with the “happy little accidents.” #believeinfilm
I love how power lines look on PanF. Had a low speed vacation, two ISO 50 films and a 100, just the way I like it 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Ilford PanF 50 🧪 HC-110 (Dilution B, 4min) #believeinfilm #35mm
This was my first time shooting Velvia, and I developed it myself. I’m proud of myself for taking on the challenge and the results. I did have a lab do the scans to be fancy, meh on the results 📷 Minolta Maxxum 🎞️ Fuji Velvia 50 🧪 HC-110 (A, 6.5min, 105F) & RA4 #believeinfilm #35mm #lakeminnetonka
Trichrome Tuesday: I didn’t try to make this look like an oil painting, but I’m coming around to it. Reflected light is still a mystery to me. 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Ilford PanF50 🧪 HC-110 (Dilution A, 4min) #trichrome #trichromeeverything #believeinfilm
Tools of Trichrome Couldn’t resist snapping a pic of my Trichrome filters in monochrome. 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Ilford PanF 50 🧪 HC-110 (Dilution A, 4min) #believeinfilm #35mm
I saved my PanF vacation shots for last. When frames come out with this stock, they look fantastic. Still finding it hit or miss to Trichrome. 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Ilford PanF50 🧪 HC-110 (Dillution A, 4min) #believeinfilm #fridayfavourites #monochrome
Slide Film Sunday: Anxiously awaiting scans of my vacation slides I developed and sent away to scan. Developed this roll too, maybe over cooked it a tad too long in the 1st dev, but for this event and the harsh mid-day sun it kinda works. 🎞️ Ektachrome 🧪 HC-110 & RA4 #believeinfilm #slidefilm
Danger Ranger: I love a Ford Ranger and not just because they were made in St. Paul. This one looked too cool not to take a photo of at the As it Was car show. 📷 Olympus SuperZoom 3000 🎞️ Kodak Ektachrome 🧪 HC-110 (Dil A, 106 F) & RA4 #believeinfilm #35mm #slidefilm #fordranger
Trichrome Tuesday: I feel like I’m getting closer to correct exposure with this one. It’s 1 stop under for each of the filters. 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Kentmere 100 🧪 HC-110 (Dilution H, 16min) #trichrome #believeinfilm #trichromeeverything #trichrometuesday #35mm
One of the things I love about Ektachrome is its ability to be like 4 totally different films depending on how you expose & develop it. This Genre, I’m particularly fond of, reminds me of the pictures I saw reading Car and Driver in the 2000s. Perhaps a tad overdeveloped #believeinfilm #slidefilm
Had a great time at Capital Raceway a couple weeks ago at a drifting, skating, car show and swap meet put on by a friend’s YouTube channel project: As it Was. I really liked the event and hope the channel continues to grow 📷 Olympus SuperZoom 🎞️ Ektachrome 🧪 HC-110 & RA4 #believeinfilm #slidefilm
Slide Film Sunday: Exploring around where I work. Alban, Va is now sandwiched between a spaghetti mess of highway interchanges yet is still an important commercial center and diverse community. 📷 Olympus SuperZoom3000 🎞️ Polaroid Presentation Chrome 🧪 HC-110 & ECN-2 #believeinfilm #slidefilm
I was on vacation so I actually had the time to do some live action sketching. If you’re in the Twin Cities I can’t recommend enough The Museum of Russian Art. It’s compact and full of mostly rolling exhibits which were all fascinating. More drawings & photos of it to follow #handdrawing #wipart
Trichrome Tuesday: Easily one of my favorite trichromes so far. Seeing so many people moving around outweighs the overexposed golden roof of the subject building. 📷 Minolta Maxxum 7000 🎞️ Kentmere 100 🧪 HC-110 (Dilution H, 16min) #trichrome #trichromeeverything #believeinfilm #fridayfavourites
Slide Film Sunday: Still fine tuning my approach to cross-processing Aerocolor as Positives. Happy with how this one turned out though, even if it’s a stop underexposed. Taken from the Baltimore Museum of Industry looking across the harbor. 🧪 HC-110 (A, 102F 8.5min) #believeinfilm #slidefilm
Sidecover Friday: These little doohickies are equal parts interesting & infuriating to work on. The Honda CT70 elicits strong feelings of nostalgia and is experiencing a resurgence in value as people buy them up to recapture youthful memories. #motosky
Another hot day for a walk, but glad we got out & about. 📷 Praktica LB2 🎞️ Ilford FP4 🧪 HC-110 (Dilution E, 12min) #believeinfilm #35mm #ilford
