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.

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.
