PHOTOGRAPHIC ODDITIES · No. 001
Kodak Instamatic X-15

Of all the cameras in my collection, this one had to go first.
It was my first camera.

I was a kid when I got this little Kodak. (Long before photography became my profession.)

It shot square photos on 126 cartridge film, had a fixed-focus lens, and used a four-shot Magicube for flash. No screen. No autofocus. Barely anything to adjust.
Just point it at something worth remembering and push the button.

Turns out, I never really stopped doing that.

Photographic Oddities is my new weekly series exploring the vintage cameras in my collection.

The longer story is on Stories of Sierra Solstice.

There’s something about a fall wedding in Northern California.

The light gets lower. The colors get richer. The evenings cool off just enough for everyone to stay outside a little longer.

And somehow, everything feels a little more wild and romantic.

Golden foothills. Vineyards. Old trees. Moody skies. Candlelight after sunset. The people you love gathered together while the season changes around you.

Fall was made for this.

Now booking weddings throughout Sacramento, the Sierra foothills and Northern California.

Photography for people who want to remember what it felt like.
