The July 2017 edition of the #summerfilmparty comes to a colorful, patriotic, end with a nice roll of FPP RetroChrome 320 (now, after further testing, known as FPP RetroChrome 400).

The Sprocket Rocket loves light. I mentioned this before. So Labeauratoire [kromiəm] 500 plus bright sunshine (and bright color) at the 4th of July parade should be just about perfect…
And it was! Continue reading “#summerfilmparty! – pt. 2: SPROCKETS!”
#summerfilmparty, pt. 1: ISO 6 at the 4th Parade
Mr. Brown, ISO 6… There are slower black & white films out there, but not in my fridge. I shot a roll a few months back with good results. It’s July in TX, so there should be plenty of sun, and the 4th of July means a little small town-type parade in Irving…
Sounds perfect for the second installment of the #summerfilmparty, right?
Eh. Continue reading “#summerfilmparty, pt. 1: ISO 6 at the 4th Parade”
Unboxing Photoscouting
I don’t remember where I came across PhotoCorps and PhotoScouting. PhotoCorps is a grant funded community photography workshop/training/community thing, started by Chris Glass, and based in Cincinnati, and PhotoScouting is a sort of workshop: “21 exercises to make more intentional photographs, explore neighborhoods and connect with people.”
Now, even though I’m ~1000 miles away, I probably need to do more of all of that, so I picked up a copy of the Guidebook, and one of these days, I’ll work through it. Continue reading “Unboxing Photoscouting”

About an hour of research, an hour of hunting for a good price, a debit card number, and 4 days later, I was unboxing yet another toy…
Unboxing ‘Spring Tide’
I became aware of Spring Tide: Van Zoetendaal & The Collection thanks to a rather glowing, if unrated, review by Jörg Colberg. If not for him and his reviews, my wallet would be somewhat heavier, and bookshelves substantially lighter.
Colberg has much more to say, and says it much better, than I do, so I won’t blame you if you leave here for there before continuing on…
Unboxing some Dev Samaddar prints
I saw this print a month or so ago, liked the color and composition, thought about it for awhile, and finally pulled the trigger. I’m glad I did! It’s a beautiful print.
