Darktable Negative Inversion

Blog, Photography

We took a trip to Italy recently and I brought along my Ricoh XR-7 and ten rolls of film. During the trip, I ended up shooting eight and a half rolls (three color, five black and white). At home, I had three rolls of color film I was holding off on developing until after the […]

Zenobia Camera Test

Picked up a small 120 folder for cheap at a thrift store and put a roll of Kentmere Pan 400 through it to see if the 75-year-old camera could hold its own against my fleet of cameras.

Thirty-seven didn’t turn out to be the year I expected it to be, in some ways that was good and in some ways that was very much not good. Leading off with the bad because it really felt like a dark cloud over the year, work drove me to some dark places. For me, I […]

November – Day 5


Blog

Did you remember that today is the fifth of November? You must always remember. Remember the fifth of November. Now you will. The maggots didn’t kill me, though I woke up with some awful cramps/gas. Correlation? Probably. In continuing the trend of weird things being eaten on accident, today I ate fried duck heart and […]
