49 Film Photography Blogs Worth Following

I’ve collected and shot film cameras for 40 years, but only started blogging about it in the last decade or so. I went looking for other blogging camera collectors and film photographers, hoping to find community among others of like mind. I found several and have been amply rewarded by sharing in their adventures.

In this time of film’s resurgence, perhaps you might enjoy following some of the same film photo bloggers I do. So here’s my master list.

And let’s make this an exchange. If you know of some film-photography or camera-collecting blogs I don’t list, please link to them in the comments!

About the author: Jim Grey photographs what interests him, but tries to frame his subjects in a way that interests you. Should that fail, in a last-ditch attempt to keep your attention he writes stories about the subjects, or about memories the subjects stir, or about making the photos themselves.

Jim has collected film cameras since boyhood, but he didn’t make photographs in earnest until after he turned 40. He shares his photos and words on his blog, Down the Road. As midlife crises go, it’s been arguably less expensive than buying sports cars and carrying on with women half his age.

Jim recently published his first book of his film photography, which you can preview here.
