It’s a privilege to be included in the @photozinecoll.bsky.social publication titled “Vivid”, themed both around the zine title and the film stock Kodak Gold 200. These zines are in honour of John Whitmore’s memory with proceeds going to charity.

Ok #BelieveInFilm friends… how to shoot these out-of-date films, and instruct the lab on development?! They were in the barn find box along with the Mamiya RZ67, so not stored in a fridge/freezer 😞

A friend has had this (along with loads of other gear) sitting in his barn for years. Now I have a bit of a steep learning curve 😉

I have achieved camera nerd-dome. Was watching a bad Italian horror film last night. There was a closeup of someone using a Nikon F3 to shoot rapid exposures — except they were pressing the depth of field preview button instead of the shutter release 😂
