VELVIA | Saturday, October 31, 2020
#VELVIA: before the 2005 trip to #India, I was there in 2001, and still shooting film. Contax for B+W, Nikon for colour, and I think every photographer of that era must miss #Fuji Velvia. This is a straight high-res scan I found in the archives, and I’d hoped I’d see this image again someday. There’s some places you just can’t reach with a digital camera. #flowers #filmphotography
GANGES | Wednesday, July 8, 2020
#GANGES: #Varanasi is one of my least favourite places in #India, but there were still moments of joy in this town. This river is a law unto itself, a host to the most incredible numbers of antibiotic-resistent bacteria, but surprisingly, they are present from the #Himalayan foothills onwards, rather than your usual suspects in the picture. #Rishikesh is the demarcation line between clean and not-clean, it seems. The river is actually an amazing opportunity for research into bacteria and drug-resistance. Also, we all miss the magical quality of the most vivid film we’ve ever seen, #Fuji #Velvia #rvp50 #velvia50 #nikon
RVP | Sunday, September 6, 2015
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Victory! I KNEW I had a last stash of film somewhere. This is like buried treasure, most of this stuff is no longer made: #RVP #Velvia, #Ektachrome #320T, #Agfa #Scala, #Kodachrome (only black and white process still available), #Delta, #SFX, #Ilford, #Fuji #E100GX. Amazing. This should last me two months at the current rate. If anyone has any old film they don’t want or need… You know who to call :) I’m carrying all this home over my shoulder like a swag bag. #filmwasters
