Slide Film Sunday:

Experienced some frustration developing this expired Agfachrome CT Percisa slide flim, coming out of the tank the positives looked so thin I thought it was blank. Thankfully I still got pictures, but definitely not the quality I was hoping for.

😍 jelous! I've always wanted to ride a ferry on my bike.
Annapolis [MD] Pride Parade. It was delayed to last weekend from June, I think because of weather, so two months get to be gay now!

This photo is so clear & well focused because my friend shot it 🤪

Two taxis captured on two Olympus cameras (Olympi?) The first on a Olympus 35SP on expired Kirland film I'm guessing was made by Agfa. The second on my SuperZoom3500 on new Kodacolor 200

Art is maddning sometimes, but that doesn't mean we should quit! I recently developed two rolls of expired slide film I was stoked about and the emulsions were so degraded all that was left was a thin ghost of an image, the worst part was the ghost pictures looked cool but didn't scan.
Attempting to capture the energy of Grand Central Station in NYC. So much going on, so many people all headed somewhere just passing through this beautiful space.

The view from inside the Roosevelt Island Tram. Pleasantly suprised with the SuperZoom's light meter for nailing the exposure on these.

One of the highlights of my recent trip to NYC was riding the Roosevelt Island Tramway. A whimsical device that, though concerning in high wind, offers great views.

Oooo that's so gorgeous, I really want to visit there one day!
Driving by this building always makes me think of National Farmers Bank in Owatonna, Mn the famous building designed by Louie Sullivan.

Sure this ones a lot less ornate and only houses tires instead of cash, but I appreciate the effort to give the building something unique.

Slide Film Sunday

Hawaii Theater, Honolulu on Ektachrome.

Shooting 100 speed film at night can be tricky, but nightime shots on Ektachrome that turn out are some of my absolute favs.

For devloping slide film? Pushed +1 stop still?

Cross-processed Aerocolor IV to slide positive. This is one of the first rolls I tried shooting & developing as positives so they're pretty dark, but this one came out nice.

Oh no! I been feeling similar and it does help to get it out on paper. The right journal with fun stickers help too
People have had a lot to say about DC recently, I want to provide a countervailing visual narrative showcasing its beauty.

I'm curious, what were the tells it was AI written? Were there a bunch of emdashes and was everyone "Delving" into their photos?
Slide Film Sunday:

I have to keep re-learning not to trust my camera's light meter when shooting at dusk. Most of the frames from this car meet were a couple stops underexposed. Extatic this one of a fun Civic turned out

I've been having good results with HC-110 Dillution A at 104° for 6:30 and using ECN-2 as the 2nd dev for Ektachrome & Fuji slide films
So glad Simplicity arrived in the mail before a rainy weekend! I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm loving the story so far!

Thanks @mattielubchansky.com The illustrations are gorgeous too, so much creativity and care make it hard to put down
Throughly enjoyed @victoriascott.bsky.social review of Phoenix II

Her writing also sparked me exploring the contours of my own style and thinking about why I like Phoenix I so much despite its quirks, because it feels like drawing with light. Thanks Vicki!

The effect is cool though, I'd totally buy that as a postcard
