The Frugal Film Project is a collective photography challenge to help reign in the cost of photography. Starting in 2018, it encourages using budget cameras, lenses, and film over a year. The framework in which those participating work includes a camera/lens that costs no more than 75$ (USD) and a relatively inexpensive film (no Portra). And shooting one roll of film a month. Bill has been participating in this for several years now. This year marked the first time Alex joined in, so we’re bringing in a small cross-section of those who participated in a couple of chats on today’s episode. This is the first time CCR has done a round-table ‘open source’ style episode, so it is split into two parts recorded on two separate days. If you want to join in on next year’s FFP, you can head over to the Facebook group and join in the fun!
