Still life photography may just be my favorite form of photography. I started practicing this form of art in 2019 when I was experiencing a severe flare-up from Crohn’s disease and I couldn’t get outdoors to take photos.

I’ve done many articles featuring Arista EDU Ultra film over the year. In my opinion it is a great black and white film at an actually affordable price.

It’s painful to write this right now at 430am as I lay in a hospital bed in my bedroom. My life has been turned upside down.

I was sent a couple rolls of Fuji's newer 400 film from a friend in the community named Lance. He asked me if I could shoot the new Fujifilm 400 to see what I thought of the rumors of this film just being Ultramax in disguise.
