Her Letter to Kodak Oct 11, 2021

"Globally, 70-80% of photography students are women – yet they account for only 13-15% of professional photographers. Data from the US Census Bureau in 2019 shows that 73% of Photographers are 'White (Non-Hispanic),' compared to 62% of the population, while 8% of photographers are Black and 5% are Asian, compared to 12% and 6% of the population respectively."

UK-based photographer Izzie Farr, guests on the show to discuss how she identified a lack of diversity in the images Kodak curates on their social media site and how the letter titled, 'Dear Kodak' went viral throughout the film photography community.

Notice: An Interview with Wesley Verhoeve Apr 22, 2021

Photographer Wesley Verhoeve joins the podcast to discuss his Photo Book, "Notice." We learn about Wesley growing up learning photography from his father. We then dive into learning how COVID-19 changed his photography, traveling worldwide, meeting and photographing people. While socially distanced in suburban Vancouver, Wesley challenged himself to look differently in areas we would once consider ordinary.

Now his project is complete, he and Dan Rubin carefully curated these images into the book called "Notice." In this book, Wesley now displays these images in a meaningful way that allows the viewer to notice similarities of patterns, shapes, and color as the viewer turns the page.

Kodachrome: The Final Days Jan 13, 2021

Kodachrome: songs have been written about it, parks have been named after it, movies have been produced about it. It is an iconic film that has not been commercially processed since January 18, 2011. The photo lab to make its last stand for Kodachrome was Dwayne's Photo. When Kodak gave Steve McCurry the last roll of Kodachrome off the manufacturing line, Dwayne's Photo was instantly thrown to an international stage as the last lab to process Kodachrome. I would go to say that Kodachrome's legacy is shared with Dwayne's Photo.

As we approach the 10th anniversary of the last rolls of Kodachrome to be commercially processed, we invite Derek and Josh Carter, grandsons to Dwayne, and new owners to the multi-generation family business. They share stories of the final days of Kodachrome and discuss the roller coaster ride of the renewed interest in film photography.

Dwayne's Photo still processes various formats of film (even Disc) to this day. You can check them out on their website: https://www.dwaynesphoto.com/

Community Collaborations with Michael Bartosek Aug 12, 2019

The creator for the Kodak 2238 Project, a community collaboration, Michael Bartosek, shares his reasons for starting a film community collaboration. Thirty people are given two rolls of Kodak 2238 black and white film. This is a low speed, fine grain, panchromatic film that is not commonly used for photography. Traditionally, this film is used for digital separation imagery. Then the photographers would develop them and share their images for a zine.

His project is going so well that it inspired me to take a horde of expired film that was kindly given to me from a friend and Fujfilm Representative, Brandon Remler. More details to come as I build out the specifics for the zine.

Interview with Lomography Apr 29, 2018

(32 min, 28MB) Article with images and links available on Website.

We interview Lomography General Manager, Christian Polt, and learn a little about the history of the company. Additionally, we discuss some of the products Lomography offers.

Lomography all started when some students traveled to Prague towards the end of the Soviet Union and came across a camera designed extremely closely to the Cosina CX-2. That camera is called the Lomo LC-A. This camera quickly built a cult following throughout Europe. Though the success of the LC-A and the 4-lens, SuperSampler, in Europe, it quickly spread to the United States.

Between 2010 and 2012, at the peak of the film photography collapse, large companies were discontinuing emulsions. However, because Lomography was considered as a small company, it was agile enough to announce emulsions. One of the most popular emulsions is the Lomochrome Purple.

Chris Gampat, Editor in Chief at Phoblographer did an amazing review of Lomography's 800 speed color negative! You should check it out here!

Lomography has gained wild popularity with its instant cameras. I purchased an Lomo' Instant Mini on a cruise a couple years back. I also purchased the Lomo' Instant Wide for my wife as a birthday gift!

These cameras gave instant film a much better credibility. Initially, with a limited camera selection from Fujifilm, Lomography provides a bit more freedom for creativity with an internal light meter for variable apertures, exposure compensation, multiple exposure, and bulb mode.

I am new to the instant photography world and never really gave it much attention. However, owning two of these cameras, I keep it handy when I want to give a keepsake to a client or for myself.

FujiFilm Officially Kills NeoPan Acros 100

It's official. FujiFilm has announced the discontinuation of Acros 100. Written on a previous post, we believe that FujiFilm got out of the film game before the resurgence. Because of the filmgrain.es article and connections to FujiFilm in addition to Doc Kaps meeting with FujiFilm execs to save FP-100C, we believe this to be enough evidence to think the machinery is long gone.

Kodak T-MAX P3200: My First Roll

Steven’s report on shooting P3200. He shares his experience shooting the film and shows us pretty pictures!

Kodak Announces Ektachrome E100 in 16mm

Let's get it out of the way. There's another pushback on the timeline. It is now slated for late summer/early fall 2018. It's okay though. The gap is getting smaller and smaller it's important that Kodak has a successful launch for Ektachrome. When the article was posted, 35mm was not mentioned and people started to get concerned. We tweeted Matt Stoffel at Kodak and has confirmed that 35mm is on the same timelines as Super 8 and 16mm.

https://twitter.com/StoffelMatt/status/982369815443771394

We believe the announcement of 16mm format is the result of a survey Kodak put out about the super 8 camera in early February.

Tim Gander

After the podcast episode, Tim Gander submitted an article sharing his experience switching to a digital camera and beating his competition to print who were still shooting on film. Read up on the article here and listen to his 'One-on-One' interview with Bill here.

Adorama

On April 4, 2018, Adorama Learning Center writer, Mason Resnick, posted an article called, “5 reasons why I am never going back to Film Photography.” We posted a Google cache link since all articles by Mr. Resnick have been taken down. The REAL reason why photographers got angry is because it's another "Film vs. Digital" article. We get it, every point Resnick writes is accurate. But everybody has their own reason for shooting film.

Things went from bad to worse really quick when photographer, Mike Fraser, discovered the image of a Leica M3 is identical to the image of a Leica M3 on Ken Rockwell's website. Fraser questioned Resnick of the similarities. Resnicks response, "We must have identical Leicas." When that comment did not pass muster, the comment was deleted and ultimately sent the article into viral mode among the photography community. The watermark is in a very difficult spot to crop out. Ken places it where you really have to intentionally remove it.

On 4/6 Adorama issues an article titled We Are Sorry in response to the fallout. The article acknowledges the improper use of Ken Rockwell's image and offered compensation. According to PetaPixel the amount is $1,000.

Now that Adorama is on the radar, people began to audit Resnick's previous writings and discovered an article posted prior to the Ken Rockwell incident. Images from Bellamy Hunt's article, 'Camera Historica: The Sean Flynn Leica M2' details the story war photojournalist and his Leica M2. The same images in Bellamy's article were used without his approval on Adorama's blog (Google cached link).

As a result, all articles written by Resnick have been taken down.

MiNT

MiNT gives an update on the RF-70. Bring up price and new features – Internal Flash and External flash port – Excited because this really takes instant film to a new level in analog photography. Price – Slightly more expensive than SLR670-S which comes in at $729.

Photowalk Website

Photographer, Martin Smith, has built a website tailored for photowalks and photo meetups. There are disadvantages to big sites like Meetup.com and Eventbrite that don't always fit the needs of a photowalk. It is quite popular in Europe and we want to help him make this a popular tool for the photo community around the world.
