In mid July, my brother Alex and our friend Ryan traveled up to Ucluelet, BC to visit my brother Nick and his wife Kaleigh. They own a campground called Surf Junction where they offer surf lessons off Vancouver Island. We surfed our brains out and I shot some frames on my dad’s old Nikon F2 in the downtime and while we checked the surf at different beaches.

Shot on a Nikon F2 with Portra 160, some really expired Ilford Delta 400, and my iPhone with VSCOcam.

Im just picking up film again after many many years. Its like learning the basics again. awesome inspiration .

Really nice shot and good trip!!

just came across your work. im enamored.

Great frames. Is that a 50 1.4?

It’s amazing to think this is what goes on on the other side of the country. I’m not familiar with this world of the west, but it looks like a blast.

These are awesome! I really love all of your work, especially this personal set! Fantastic!

Love the photos of the mountains joining at the base. Really gorgeous photos. Great job!

great work, love the scapes!

Fun trip. How good is expired Delta? I have some here from 2001 I am going to shoot soon. I love using some older film gear that has a bit of history. I dev all my current B&W frames in my dad’s dev kit from the 70’s. I just love it that 40 years later I am developing and using his equipment to make my own history with.
Love your work.

Fun! What lens on the F2?

Love these! Although, I love all of your work :)

This is so good! One of my fav posts iv seen on your site… =)

Nevermind ! Just got my answer… Portra 160 !

That’s so great ! What kind of film did you use for this trip ?

You got a lot of great photos here. Inspired to go buy some more film now :)

These are great, Benj! I’m always so happy to see people still shooting film!
