Some shots from this month's roll for Eastern Standard Photo's film club. Each month we get a subject prompt and a roll of film and have to shoot it based on that concept. This month's was "motion" and the film was Ilford Delta 3200.

From the archives, probably 2021. Shot with a Calumet 4x5 on Tri-x. I love the rhythms of the trees and benches.

Some shots of Allegheny Cemetery from a photo-walk with folks from the Eastern Standard Photo community. Shot with a Yashica D on Kentmere 400 🎞️. The last grave is actually a late friend's. I didn't know he was buried there and was a little surprised to stumble upon it.

Super sad to see this. My wife and I have been going since 2011 and have seen so many amazing films and heard talks from tons of great filmmakers and critics.

A couple of Polaroids from my last pack of 600 B&W of some street construction outside of our darkroom building. Anyone know when they're going to start selling it again?

The little darkroom collective I belong to, Analog Liberation, got a nice mention in this story about the film photography scene in Pittsburgh. Silver Eye, Bodega and ESP are all terrific too.

So happy to see Harman continuing work on this new color (or, colour) film. I struggled a bit with the first iteration, mostly in scanning but it's wonderful that someone is trying to create some competition. Love that it's available in 120; now if they could only produce it in sheet format ...
New - HARMAN Phoenix II
HARMAN Phoenix is back with a brand-new formulation! Still full of character but now with improved contrast, grain, highlight / shadow retention, & sharpness

Was thinking about emulsive.org which was a great site for film photography 🎞️ that's sadly on hiatus or dead, I'm not sure. I contributed a couple of articles for it a few years ago and had been hoping to do more. This is the first one I did:

I need to retire so I can just watch Criterion movies all day.
Criterion — founded in 1984 — is courting a "new audience of cinephiles” via streaming.

And it’s working.

Criterion Channel “has grown steadily” — and created a "low-churn subscriber base” that has "eclipsed the company’s physical media business”.

How Criterion turned its film archives into a streaming powerhouse
The Criterion Channel refuses to employ Netflix-style algorithmic programming. That choice has courted a whole new audience of cinephiles.
