You know those times when you purchase a new book and, since the premise sounded interesting and the reviews generally positive, you were excited about it, but when you sit down to read it, …well, you don’t feel the same way as the blurbed? 👋🏻 *waves* hi there! That was…

I think I’ve become a “Fuji Truther”. I didn’t mean to, but I think I have. And just what is the dark and disturbing — sinister — truth that I’ve decided that I am buying into? I think that, at least in some cases, Fuji hasn’t been actually been manufacturing…

In answering the question of whether you’d like your photos with less apparent grain or to be developed quickly, Kodak’s Mic(rodol)-X was firmly positioned on the “I have time for anything except for visible grain” side of the house.

When I woke up on Sunday morning, the sun was out and the birds were chirping. At least, I assume they were. We had the windows closed and the air conditioner on because it had been quite warm; the heat continuing to accumulate into the walls of our concrete building…

One thing I wanted to do after Saturday’s development disappointment was to confirm that my D-96 wasn’t the culprit. There was no reason it should have been: it was recently mixed and I had only used it to develop three other rolls at the time (it’s good for 12). Like…

It’s not all that often I have a specific plan what I’d like to make photos of and this past Wednesday was not exception. I just knew that the sun was out and I would like to keep the good times with slide film rolling while it was. Otherwise, I…

After my second Ektachrome roll on Tuesday, I wasn’t quite finished. Later that afternoon, I had my weekly electrolysis appointment to attend and the clinic is in the Carlington area, across from the former Westgate Mall. Instead of using another roll of slide, in a sort of show of defiance…

In fact, the weather was so pretty on Tuesday, that I stopped to load another roll at the corner of Somerset and Kent so that I could continue. I was going to run my grocery errands at Hartman’s Massine’s but since I wanted to keep walking, I ended up instead…
