    Discovering Hiram, GA Through a Classic Lens

    September 1, 2025 /

    There’s a certain magic in slowing down, isn’t there? In an age of instant gratification and digital perfection, taking a step back to appreciate the craft of film photography, especially with a timeless camera like the Canonet QL17 GIII, feels like a rebellion. And what better subject for this thoughtful approach than a charming, evolving town like Hiram, Georgia?Hiram, nestled in Paulding County, might seem like just another dot on the map as you drive through. But spend some time here, look a little closer, and you’ll uncover a rich tapestry of history, community, and understated beauty. My recent trips there, armed with my trusty Canonet and a mix of…

    Introducing #EOTWP – End of the World Photography

    July 16, 2025 /

    By David Wagner | davidthephotog.com Photography has a way of freezing time—not just in motion, but in mood. Some of the most striking images I’ve ever seen, and made, are the ones where no person is present. A quiet motel glowing in the dusk. An empty diner with the chairs still up. A rusted-out car parked beside a collapsing barn. These aren’t just still lifes; they’re echoes. That’s what led me to create a new tag and visual concept: EOTWP – End of the World Photography. What is #EOTWP? End of the World Photography isn’t about destruction or chaos. It’s not the apocalypse in flames. It’s the afterward—the pause. The…

    Shooting My First Roll with the Canon Canonet QL17 GIII (1979) + Kodak Portra 160

    July 15, 2025 /

    There’s something special about putting an old camera through its paces for the first time—especially one as beloved as the Canon Canonet QL17 GIII. After years of digital shooting and some dabbling with other film compacts, I finally, again added this classic rangefinder to my kit. According to the serial number, my Canonet was produced in 1979, just a few years before the model was discontinued. It’s in great shape, and after some fresh light seals and a good cleaning, I loaded it up with a roll of Kodak Portra 160 and hit the streets. Why the Canonet? I’ve been shooting film since the 1970s, and I’ve come to appreciate…

    Shooting Kodak Pro Image 100 with My Canonet 28: Affordable 35mm Film in Georgia Light

    July 9, 2025 /

    Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into 35mm film photography with my Canonet 28, a compact rangefinder from the 1970s that’s simple, quiet, and surprisingly capable. On a recent outing through Dallas and Marietta, Georgia, I loaded it with Kodak Pro Image 100, a film stock I’ve been meaning to test for a while. Spoiler: I was impressed—and not just by the results, but also by the value. Why Kodak Pro Image 100? Pro Image 100 isn’t as hyped as Portra or Ektar, but it’s an underrated gem. Designed with professionals in mind—especially in warmer, humid climates—it holds contrast and color beautifully while staying relatively affordable (which in today’s film economy, really…

    A few photos SOOC and some accessories. I picked up this fun little camera that also has a built in printer. I’m sure since you’re here you have an idea of what this camera does. I thought I’d post a few pics I took around my house to give you an idea of how the pics look. Here’s a few photos straight out of camera. Here are some accessories I picked up. The case is very cool. The albums are fun.
