   Max Adams on shooting for work and shooting for fun

   Last week I had Max Adams on the Photography Community Camera Clara livestream/podcast. He runs a YouTube channel with almost 80,000 subscribers (as April 2026, important to say, because it’s growing fast!). Max is known professionally for doing restaurants/food and real estate photography, and on his own time he’s a film photographer like us. We showed up wearing the same hat. We talked for over an hour and covered a lot of ground. Find the full episode in this post’s header. Below, some highlights worth reading even if you watch the whole thing, especially if you are curious to learn if…

   Developing film in traffic, in the woods, on a UHAUL! Meet Kat and Everett, the creative minds behind FridgeFilm

   Kat and Everett from FridgeFilm joined the Camera Clara live stream last week, and it was one of the most fun episodes we’ve done. If you don’t know them yet: they’re two LA-based film photographers who develop film in the most chaotic places imaginable , film the whole process, edit it with great energy, and post it on YouTube. Think about Spider Man asking for 50 bucks (lmao), a Scientology security guard showing up and challenging them in their matching blue jumpsuits while trying to evangelize the church, chemicals flying inside a UHAUL at 7am (LMAO), red wine as a film developer, camo…

   Video tutorial: How to un-delete photos from your SD card

   I spent the afternoon on the Staten Island ferry with a full battery and high hopes. The light was perfect coming off the water, Manhattan doing its thing in the background, and I kept shooting. Felt like one of those rare sessions where everything lines up. Got home, pulled the SD card, plugged it in. Nothing. Completely empty. No error message, no corrupted files, just blank. I still have no idea what happened, and at this point I’ve accepted I never will. I think it was my storage USB that corrupted the SD card filesytem or so. I also had the Mamiya 7ii with me for medium format shots.…

   The Ricoh GR IV HDF, reviewed by an experienced street photographer

   Note 1: this is a video-article. Make sure to click on the video to play the full thing (I know, Substack is confusing sometimes). Note 2: This is not a traditional review in the sense we will fully cover tech specs. That’s not what CameraClara is for (go to PetaPixel or DPReview for that, they do a better job). Of course we will talk about specs here and there, but our conversation is focused on bringing the perspective from what an experienced street photographer thinks about Ricoh’s new street-photography camera. Juno Morrow is a NYC street photographer known for her bold color work.…

   Building a photography community in Hong Kong, featuring Anson (Tahusa)

   I had a fantastic conversation with Anson, the man behind Tahusa. This is the second time Camera Clara features Tahusa. This time, we are talking about what we have in common when building a film photography community around the world. Timestamps and topics As usual with our livestreaming videos here in Camera Clara, I split our conversations into different parts and included the corresponding timestamp, so you can see what we discussed and cherrypick the topic you’re most interested in. Wow! Breaking into topics → That alone is a good reason to subscribe to Camera Clara, isnt’it? I know…

PS: Connect with Michael via his instagram or personal website . Michael brought camera equipment, a detailed slide deck explaining the electromagnetic spectrum, and years of hands-on experience shooting in infrared. You’ll discover technical foundations, but more importantly,…

   When a photograph holds everything: 20 seconds at the NYC Marathon

   Note: This post derived from a live streaming. You can see the live streaming video by clicking above. I am providing both the live streaming and a long-form written text, so you can consume in the flavor you most like. On November 3, 2025, my wife ran the New York City Marathon. 59,226 runners took to the streets that morning, pushing through 26.2 miles across all five boroughs. Two million spectators lined the route, creating a human corridor of noise and support that could be heard blocks away. My son and I waited at mile eight in Brooklyn. He held a sign he’d made himself, his…
