I’ve realized that most people outside of the US measure travel distance in miles or kilometers whereas Americans measure travel distance in time. Weird.

A4: I put my work out several ways. My professional studio / paid client work, the final edits go to the client. I almost never share my pro work except with the client. On personal projects / film I share my work here on Bluesky and IG (seperate acct for studio & film)

A3: for my studio work I import all images into Adobe Lightroom and edit selected images in Adobe Photoshop (round trip). For all my scanned film negatives I import then in Lightroom as well to build a catalog. I sometimes crop / adjust lighting in LR but never use PS

A2: Right now I have an "as-is" Minolta 7xi I purchased from @usedphotopro.com along with a few rolls of Kodak Gold 200 and bulk rolled Kentmere 400. This is one of the recently acquired Minolta SLRs that I'm playing around with. Hope to take it out again tomorrow

I'll start on this month's #photochat.
A1: IMO I'm an "intentional" photographer both professionally & as a hobby. On my studio work I plan the details in advance including documentation, call sheets, mood boards, etc. On the film side I will select a subject, camera & film to go out with.

Q1: Excluding everyday snapshots / cell phone photos do you primarily plan your photoshoots in advance or capture moments spontaneously? Or both?

I know most film photographers that shoot Vision3 know this. But here’s the non-prebath removal process I use. Even when I use a prebath I physically wipe off the layer just in case
