TMAX Party!
Are you ready to Party? I hope so, ’cause it’s time for the TMAX Party!
Well, actually, it’s not… I’m way late for it, or way early for it. The first round ended the third full week of March; the second starts up the first week of April.
Oh well. Continue reading “TMAX Party!”
Pan F+ Fail
Ah, the best laid plans…
I received a roll of Ilford Pan F+ 50 in the Emulsive Santa thing last winter, and after the fun blurry stuff I got out of the XA during #BIFscale17, I wanted to see if I could reproduce it somehow. Seeing as I shot the #BIFscale roll at EI 50, I surmised the Pan F+ 50 might produce similar results. Sadly, most of my negatives came out like this:
Dust in the Wind
From Surah al Kahf
وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاءٍ أَنزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ الرِّيَاحُ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا
And present to them the example of the life of this world, like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allah is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability.
This is all temporary.
Kansas got it part right: Nothing lasts forever, not even the Earth and sky.
Unboxing ‘Negative Feedback #1’
Negative Feedback #1 is the first irl magazine from George Muncey and the Negative Feedback team.
With short photo essays from Damien Maloney, Liam Stock, Laurence Watts, and Tim Palman, and single images from nearly 20 contributors, Negative Feedback is an excellent collection of contemporary photography in the Alec Soth vein, with a heavy dose of disconnection and alienation mixed in. The trademark peachy pink disarms and sorta makes the whole thing.

Unboxing George Muncey’s ‘Missing’
Missing is a fun little zine from George Muncey, of Negative Feedback fame. It’s very simple, really: Muncey started photographing ‘Missing Cat’ flyers one day, then added cats and neighborhoods that matched the flyers, and *poof* a great little project was born.

There is no power except in Allah
Alhamdulillah, Allah azza wa jall, al Qawiyy, lent me some of His immeasurable, unimaginable strength over the weekend: I transformed one raised bed garden/vegetable patch into two, and moved it to a more prominent location on the other side of the yard/garden.
مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
What Allah willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allah
