Established in 2013 by MainStreetHost and taken on by Alex Luyckx Photography in 2015, #photochat is a community of photography professionals and enthusiasts who congregate to talk shop and discuss anything and everything photography. To participate in our weekly chat (every Thursday at 1:00pm) search the #photochat hashtag to see the conversation, or find me at @AlexLuyckxPhoto on Twitter for more info. Include the hashtag in your tweets to answer the questions and talk with the other participants.
If there’s a topic you’d like to see covered in #photochat, hop onto Facebook, Twitter, or good old fashioned Email and let me know!
Our Topic for today, 20 October 2022, is Discontinued Photographic Technologies!
Question 1 – What piece of Photographic Technology do you miss the most (camera, film, process)?
Question 2 – What is a piece of Photographic Technology that you’re surprised was ever developed?
Question 3 – What have you tried to do to repair or replace a piece of discontinued tech?
Question 4 – What is a photographic technology you wish you had used more of or used at all?
Question 5 – Share any photo of or taken with a now discontinued piece of photographic tech!
