About

My name is Chris Tisdale. I’m an experimental photographer whose medium of choice is film. I live in southeastern Virginia where I’m a graduate student studying media specialty.

All photographs on this blog are mine and mine alone. If you would like to use a low-res version of one of my photographs for a website, blog, etc., please let me know. If you’re interested in purchasing any of my work, contact me at ektachromelove@yahoo.com and include the size you have in mind. I’ll get back to you soon with a price.

  1. Chris, Is this when you started your blog, in January of this year? I was happy with my 5000+ views I have had in less than a year! How do you get so much traffic to your site? I know your photos are great, but you have to get people to begin with!

    • Absolutely. Commenting on others’ blogs is the most important thing (although I’ve found that a lot of people won’t follow me back here). But I think word-of-mouth has something to do with it. Some days I visit a bunch of blogs and get very little traffic, and some days I visit no blogs at all and get a ton of traffic (I once got 350 hits without lifting a finger). Depends a lot on specific photos – whether they’re good, if people are searching for related topics, etc.

  5. Chris, thanks for your comments on my “Train Kept A’Rollin” shot. I too started out with film about 30 years ago. It was the best way to really learn photography. I have now moved to digital, but will always have my roots in film. Keep up the great work.

  6. Hi Chris, you have a very nice collection of pictures, especially for somebody who started to do this only since early this year. Keep the good job!. As for me, I still don’t know what to do with my photos, which I store those on http://seasonedtraveller.wordpress.com (not my main blog)

  13. Hi Chris,

    Thanks for finding me…I finally figured out how to link my name when I leave a note. Vermont is a beautiful state and well worth a summer excursion :) I get completely absorbed in your blog looking at all your beautiful photos.

  14. Chris,

    Wonderful blog. I like your photographic style a lot.
    I’m going to expose dome film too in the next weeks.
    Got me some Kodachrome and a Pentax MX.
    I’ll see how that goes!

    Kind regards and keep up the good work.

  25. It’s great to see that there are still people working with film.
    I also do some black and white work on film from time to time – for those special moments and subjects.

    Keep up the excellent work!

  28. Hi Chris, I am sitting here at 2 a.m., unable to stop browsing your site.

    Your work has an emotional quality to it that appeals to me. I suspect this may be partly due to your use of film, but mainly due to your skill.

    I’d like to do a feature on your work for http://www.phowto.com, and use some low res images (correctly attributed, of course!).

    I have a personal site at http://www.pixor.co.uk, if you ever feel like swinging by, you are very welcome.

    Cheers!

  31. Hi Chris,

    Thanks for visiting my blog. Just wanted to check back. I had my first glimpse at you work and definitely it is interesting. I have to spend sometime to explore your work.

    I know what a challenge it is to photograph using a film camera. Is all your work is by using film ? It yes, then you are darn good at it.

  32. Outstanding photos, you make me long for the days when film was readily accessible… not much luck in my town these days. Love your work, I’ll be a regular viewer from here on!
