i took the bar exam this summer (to get my attorney license) and afterwards, thought i deserved a vacation. i’d always wanted to go to mount rushmore and i had the urge to take my first solo road trip. i took off one thursday afternoon with my dog, some kodak gold 200 and my blue »
Not your mother’s brew. It didn’t take me long to decide to convert you all to developing with coffee! I know what you may be thinking – ok that’s a lie – but suppose I can imagine it’s something along the lines of, “Huh?” …And finally, the highlight of it all: the end result with your negatives stained a lovely sepia tone.
My journey into the world of film photography began in February 08, and a typically rainy Saturday in Glasgow. While at the Barras (a market full of just about everything) I noticed a box stuffed to the brim with black, boxy, interesting looking objects. As I got closer I realised it was full of old cameras, »
i’m starting this out with a disclaimer: i am very new at this whole film thing and this is by no means the ideal way to develop film. it’s simply an explanation of how i do it, and perhaps can serve as a rough guide of how to get started from zero. that said, if »
