While developing film in my darkroom, I discovered faces I hadn’t seen in over twenty years—my wife, our firstborn, and family gathered in Florida. That forgotten roll became a time capsule, reminding me that photographs grow more meaningful with time, preserving the love and connection that define our lives.
It's a unique experience using an 8x10 camera for portrait photography, despite its size and the time it takes to use it. This deliberate method fosters intimacy and attention, allowing subjects to express themselves more naturally. The process highlights the beauty in imperfection and encourages a deeper connection between photographer and subject.
Cool night in the darkroom. It’s been a hot summer and the water is already coming in at 75!!! Film looks good from the C330, I’m stoked
It’s not a Hassy or a Rollie, but the price is right and it is in such good condition. Baby’s got a new home. Besides, the Sunpack potato masher flash came with it. Now to find some potatoes and MORE FILM!!! Thanks @procamphoto, you guys are the best!
I’ve been testing different papers, and Brooke was a wonderful subject. Interesting results: some papers have lower contrast with loss of detail, yet others are the opposite. Still no verdict on using VC filters with the paper. It appears to cost an additional stop and a half on the exposure. Yikes!! ISO 6 to iso…
From the archives, a trip with family to Michigan City in the mid 90s. I love the color that comes from ektachrome. Leica R8, 35mm Summicron, Ektachrome
It’s amazing what you find digging through the archives while looking for something else. And did I find that something else? No.
I’m diving into my film archives. Watch out, Brooke. There’s a Lama with a tasty treat behind you!!! By the way, do lamas have lips? film #filmphotography #leicam6 #filmisnotdead #archives #wehmeierphotography #picoftheday
