Film is back!
At least, on Prosophos.com.
Inspired by former-student-turned-film-processing-Master, Mark Ewanchuk (he’s even developing colour film at home — check out Mark’s guide for developing colour film).
Having said that, several “errors” were committed in the making of this image:
- Expired colour film (Kodak Portra 400 NC) was used.
- It was processed with my process for developing B&W film.
- All the chemicals used were also well past their expiration dates.
Still, you can’t help but be amazed at how forgiving, and beautiful, film can be.
A lovely photographic medium for the lovely people in your life.
—Peter.
Embraceable.
