Digital Analog

I was fortunate enough to be interviewed by Scott Sheppard for his Inside Analog Photo podcast a few weeks ago.  IAP is an audio and video podcast dedicated to the many sides of film photography.  Shows have included interviews with wedding, commercial and fine art photographers as well as industry representatives.  Topics have included the 20x24 Polaroid camera, creating negatives from Fuji instant film and building cameras from skulls.  It has been a huge help in my transition, so I consider it a true honor to be included.  


I've been eagerly waiting for it to be posted so I can share it with all of you.    Click here to take a listen and let me know what you think.  I'm not brave enough to listen...yet.



Negative=WIN!

Fuji instant film is amazing.  Not only do you get a beautiful print, but you also get an amazing negative.  The 3000B film has a negative that remains visible and can be easily scanned.  Here are a few scans of the negatives from the prints I posted yesterday.  There was a little damage from pulling off the extra paper that I feel adds to the image.  







Tech Notes:
Fuji FP-3000B shot with my Mamiya Universal and 100mm f3.5 lens.  The negs were dried before removing the extra paper.  They were scanned on a flatbed scanner and Photoshop was used to invert and add contrast.
