I inherited a shiny little Ricoh 35-ZF some time ago and put a couple of rolls through it back during my photowalk days in 2011 or 2012 (and started another that took me 2+ years to finish). While I liked it well enough, it did have two annoying little issues. First off, the strap lugs made this great clacking sound at the …

Untitled
It’s my birthday today, and I had a stack of pictures all ready to share, but I was looking at them again and I realized that there was only one really worth sharing, and then I realized that my monitor calibration was off, and that the HD 400 needed a more thorough adjustment than I’d …
a couple of street portraits

Ricoh 35ZF and Kodak HD 400

Now look closely… they’re all over the place, but only on this one frame, the first full frame from a roll of Kodak HD400 (expired …
One Roll, Two Years (at least)
Most of the time, I have multiple little personal projects going on, all with various levels of importance both to me and in relation to each other. I don’t find this an unusual character trait: it seems as if others operate similarly. In the sphere of Photography-related projects, I got interested in film shortly after …
Digitizing film without a scanner, redux (part 1)
Well, it only took me 3+ months, and I’m still not quite there, but I’m closer… much closer. After last time’s more-or-less failure (see the initial Digitizing Film without a Scanner series: part 1, part 2, part 3), and with the recent ordering of a dark bag, developing tank, C-41 chemicals, and various other supplies …
