This is just to note that I’ve selected some images that I shot over the past six months and thrown them into a portfolio called “Recency Bias, 11/25.” For those of you who take an interest, these ten images were all shot on medium format film using either a Bronica ETR or a Rolleiflex 3.5 e2 on Kodak Gold 200 and then hand processed and scanned.* Click here.
* The economics of C41 film are like this. You can, if you like, send it to a lab where they will process it and scan it for you. This will cost about $20 a roll. Or, you can process it yourself using a C41 kit that costs about $30. This will get you down to about $2 per roll. And then you can scan it yourself using one of a handful of different techniques. I do, I think, the most common of these: photographing your negatives with a digital camera against a light, and then inverting and editing the image. The chemicals are good for about 15-20 rolls, and you don’t want the chemistry to sit around for too long. So I tend to do these in batches in fall.
