bradleyspitzer: A handful of people have been asking about how I create the look of this image on the right. Pretty easy process and, to be honest, one that I stumbled across accidentally. When I pick up the film from the lab I look at the negatives on the light table through the loupe. If I like the image that I see, I’ll take a snapshot of the negative through the loupe with my iPhone 4. That creates the image that you see on the left. I then use Photoshop or an iPhone app (Negative Me!) to invert the image to what you see on the right. For me it’s a quick, fun way to see the image before I take the time to use my scanner.

Check out his newly redesigned website!  He’s been shooting with his new SWC- pictures from which will make up his next exhibition in January.

tokyo-camera-style: With the looming price increase, a 25% jump on all Kodak products, there were several people in Yodobashi Camera tonight stocking up now to save money later.  I chatted with Shinya Arimoto about this earlier in the day- he suggested to offset the increase by shooting 25% less- instead of taking four shots of something only take three. He laughed and said that this is probably impossible though. Arimoto shoots a lot of Kodak film (T-Max) and like me uses Kodak HC-110 to develop his negs.  Unlike me however, he orders his 20 bottles at a time.) Keep in mind the people in the image above are not ”hoarding” out of fear that all Kodak films will disappear tomorrow. Kodak says that their film business is profitable.  Let’s hope it stays that way.

The day Apple buys Kodak

bremser:

Carrying a film camera around in the 21st century, the most common question people ask me is: Can you still buy film for that?

Kodak’s recent announcement of bankruptcy is a sad moment in American corporate history. The company will not receive the kind of support the automotive industry was given, but along with companies like Levis, Coca-Cola and Ford, Kodak has been an ambassador for the United States for over 100 years.

From the beginning, Kodak’s innovation was to make photography easier. The famed Brownie was the first camera aimed at anyone. Later, they pioneered various film formats that made loading the camera simple - the Disc, the Instamatic.
