March 21, 2016 in Camera Reviews

I'm not going to deny that I sometimes get caught up in lusting after new camera gear. Just read this blog and that should be pretty obvious.

Welcome To My Blog

Here you will find the ramblings of photographer Alexis Kennedy, his latest images, and just general thoughts about photography, film, art, and creativity.

Alexis works primarily with analogue film including 35mm, medium format, and large format film.
