    San Juan National Historic Site, Puerto Rico

    The United States National Parks System has over 400 parks, including places of great natural beauty and historic significance. Included in our magnificent parks system is the San Juan National Historic Site. The site includes what remains of the walls which surrounded the City of San Juan, and one of the original gates, La Puerta de San Juan. The site also includes the forts which protected the city from invaders, Castillo San Felipe del Morro, Castillo San Cristóbal, and Fort San Juan de la Cruz. For more information on our visit to the San Juan National Historic Site, and more information about our trip to Puerto Rico, visit our sister site, My Irie Time.

    This first group of images was shot on the Canon EOS 1v with Kodak Portra 800.

    The following images were shot on Fuji Pro 400H, some on the Canon EOS 1v and the square images were taken on the Mamiya 6 with the 50mm f/4 lens.

    Up next, we’ll explore the colorful streets of Old San Juan with film!

  • Anguilla After Irma

    Anguilla After Irma

    We were excited to return to Anguilla in January, our first visit since Hurricane Irma struck in September of 2017. Irma was a Category 5 hurricane, bringing wind speeds of 185 mph, with gusts up to 218 mph. The storm damaged 90 percent of the government buildings, including the hospital, schools, airport, and ferry terminal.  The island’s infrastructure was heavily damaged, leaving the island without electricity, telephone, and internet.

    The island’s recovery was incredible, a testament to the determination of the Anguillan people. Enjoy these images from our January visit, showing that Anguilla is back, and better than ever.

    This was our fifth trip to Anguilla, and I shot nearly everything on film. I took the Canon EOS 1v with the 35mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.2, and 135mm f/2 lenses, as well as the Mamiya 6 with the 50mm f/4 lens. I shot a wide variety of film stocks, including CineStill 50D, Fuji Pro 400H, Fuji Velvia 100 RVP, Fuji Provia RDP III, Kodak Ektachrome E100, Kodak Ektar 100, and Kodak Portra 800. I also shot four cartridges of Super 8 on my Canon Auto Zoom 814, two Kodak Ektachrome 100D (7294), and 2 Kodak Vision3 50D (7203), but more on that later. Follow us on Instagram for more information on the camera and film stock used on each individual image.

    On the way home from Detroit, we made a brief stop for lunch at Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  As it was graduation day, it was a bit busier than expected, but I had the best corned beef and pastrami sandwich I can ever remember.
