I am a film photographer living in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.A. My interests are pinhole and black and white photography. I also like collaborating with other photographers by doing film swaps.
I blog at Pinhole Obscura - a blog dedicated to pinhole photography and travel.

Pinhole
Me and my Zero 2000 at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood. Photo by Michelle Plumb.
I began using a pinhole camera in April of 2013 and have been obsessed with this type of photography ever since.
You can find more of my pinhole work on my blog or on Flickr.

Street Photography
When I travel I love to carry along a small camera to shoot the streets. In many cases I am pointing my camera at architecture that catches my interest, but I end up taking interesting photos of people on the street. It is in this indirect way that I practice street photography.
Film Swap
I enjoy collaborating with other film photographers by doing film swaps.
If you are interested in doing a film swap with me leave me a message!
Highlights:
Selected for the Swappa photobook, "Swappa: The world from your point of view" (with Brendan Comey). December 2013.
The Great Transatlantic Pinhole Filmswap Project. Started in 2014
Film swaps are a fun way to collaborate with other photographers via the medium of film photography. Here is how it works: I shoot a roll of film and send it away to a friend and they expose over the roll (or vice versa). The results are sometimes serendipitous.The photos featured here are some of my favorites.If you are interested in doing a film swap with me send me a message!
