    Easter Film

    April 1, 2024 / 1 Comment

    The featured photo of this post is of my wife gazing out over the mountains of the upstate. I wonder what she was thinking at that time. Was she contemplating the future, pondering whether or not she should marry this goofball? I can't say for sure, but I do find myself wondering. We have been married for almost a year. Indeed, it has been an adventure, brimming with memories etched into each day. We've shared laughter that filled rooms and comforted each other during moments of silence that needed no words. Through both great times and tough times, we've been inseparably united, two souls entwined by destiny and love.

    Minolta SR-7 Comprehensive Review

    March 12, 2024 / 0 Comments

    The Minolta SR-7 is far more than just a camera—it's a historical artifact. Cast yourself back to the year 1962, a period charged with the excitement of space exploration and the Kennedy administration, the SR-7 was introduced as the first 35mm SLR camera with a built-in CdS light meter, a feature that significantly simplified photography for professionals and hobbyists alike. Before the advent of integrated light meters, photographers relied on external devices, which they would have to purchase, frequently from local drugstores along with their film.

    Episode 4, Sowing the Seed, of Coffee with Jefferson Davis

    March 11, 2024 / 0 Comments

    With a click, the shutter opened for a fraction of a second, capturing not just an image but encapsulating a story of survival and beauty in adversity. I stood there for a moment, basking in the satisfaction that comes from knowing when you’ve caught a magic moment on film. This photograph, I sensed, would be a cherished addition to my personal collection, a reminder that even in the most unexpected places, there’s always something extraordinary to be discovered. I knew in that instant that I had something that I, at the very least, would love.

    Sowing the Seed

    March 8, 2024 / 2 Comments

    Photography transcends mere visuals, capturing stories and emotions within a frame, narrating human experiences through time. While photographing an old bank in South Carolina, a weed growing against the decaying bricks becomes a poignant moment frozen in time, evoking thoughts of survival, beauty in adversity, and spiritual reflections on God's omnipresence and the parable of the sower.
