Really, the Spring 2019 Polaroid Week was fine, as weeks go, and I had a good time shooting Polaroids as I always do. My rampant negativity stems less from photography, than from a creeping sense of futility and inability to imagine any sort of positive future, from a personal, where am I going, what is […]

Expired Film Day – Konica Super SR 400
A few months back, I stumbled across a cache of long-expired Konica Film-In Panorama single use cameras on the ‘bay and bought three of them, hoping against hope that they were something like the excellent Konica WaiWai that I love so much. I planned to harvest the long expired film and shoot it in some […]
Expired Film Day – Ektachrome 200D
Kodak Ektachrome 5306 200D was a daylight balanced chrome stock, if you couldn’t tell from the name… This particular roll came to me in an FPP Ollie’s Choice box and expired in 1982. I shot it at 100 in the Nikon FG with the 50mm f/1.8 E series, and developed it in a fresh batch […]

Friday March 15, the Ides of March, through Sunday the 17th. Full disclosure: I’m a sponsor of Expired Film Day. […]

I’ll share some of those in the coming weeks. Then, Jason Avery announced April’s #CameraChallenge was also Expired film… Shame on me, I played it relatively safe: 2007 expired […]
FP4+ Party! (March, 2019)
Last time, I was late… So forgive me for barging in so early this time.
(Fashionably late to the) FP4 Party!
Well, this being the first full week of March (2019), it’s shoot week for the March edition of the FP4 Party, and I currently have a roll of 120 in the Cambo C2 holder, and am slowly shooting through it. Two weeks ago, the third, and last, full week in February was post week for […]
