From strange cameras to films and developers! Join Alex, James, and Bill as they sit down for a quick roundtable on some of the stranger things they’ve encountered in their film photography: a Miranda and Rollei 35 to an Exacta, expired films, and oddball developers. It isn’t that any of these things are bad; they just happen to be a bit odd when compared to modern cameras, films, and developers that are pretty similar to similar offerings.
In 2024 and more recently in January Hurricanes and Wildfires directly affected tens of thousands of Americans; among them, we’re sure are listeners of this podcast and members of the film podcasting community—the floods in North Carolina and, more recently, the fires in California. The fires and floods have destroyed thousands of homes, including that of Gabe Sachs, one of the hosts of the smash-hit podcast I Dream of Cameras.
