Just started to buy one per race Iām running. Itās a nice way to get into film without having to buy a film camera. It is also way less risky; I donāt like bringing my nice film camera out on a run or hike, these are disposable and (almost) indestructible.
Thereās also so much delayed gratification in knowing you have no idea what the photos will look like until they develop. Itās a fun little surprise.

Film needs to make a comeback. Dark rooms, chemicals, film reels.
I know polaroids are common nowadays but lets bring back disposable cameras, 35mm pocket cams, kodak developing centers at cvs.
(Polaroid I took at a photoshoot 5 years ago.)

Alright hereās a quick look at hand processing 16mm motion picture film. The stock I shot for this film is called Kodak 3378, itās a high contrast black and white reversal film stock, which basically means it doesnāt develop as a negative but as the actual viewable image. The process of āhand developmentā is an interesting one. First 100 ft of film are loaded into a light proof tank. The chemical process I used is called E6 and it consists of a few steps that can be performed at room temperature: first developer, second developer, rinse, bleach, fixer, photoflow. Exposing the film to these chemicals four particular times results in the final image. This step is the rinse, the 3378 stock is the slightly purple film.
Hand processing creates strange patterns and aberrations, disturbances created by a process that is inherently imperfect. It allows the artist to play with the parameters of 16mm image making but maybe more importantly, its results are a direct effect of the artistās hand on their work. This is why we shoot film in a digital world: itās something we can physically affect as true human beings.

Composing a short film about childhood at the moment and Iāve been leaning heavily on this Casio PT-1 keyboard I picked up at a flea market in Barcelona. They were manufactured starting in 1985 as a simpler alternative to Casioās LV-1, hailed to be the first commercially available synth. Anyway love this sound itās so tactile without feeling too boxy, Iāve really enjoyed playing it through my Tascam 414 as a preamp.
