My darkroom is nearing completion. This project was jump started when fellow DPC'er

emorgan49 saved the enlarger from the dumpster and offered it here on DPC. Thanks again Ellen!!

(not a film image, but soon!)

I found a Yashica-MAT dumped on a doorstep in Brooklyn recently. It was in perfect condition too.

They are now selling for around $200 on ebay.

That sounds good :) I found a manual online and was toying with the idea of loading some film and shooting a roll... A friend of mine in our building works for a pro-photo lab in NYC that is good with b/w developing and scanning with drum scanners etc. So I might try it out...

Sad to report that the film found in the thrift shop Argus had apparently been there way too long - nothing on it at all. Was fun to try, though, and I don't regret sending $20 to the last person in the US who develops slides. Worthy contribution.

Now to go load film in the toy camera... need to get out with that one here shortly.

Sorry to hear that the found film was a dud. It's a funny twist, but the camera I sent you was also preloaded with film when I bought it. I developed it and got... nothing. Well, that's not entirely true; two or three frames in the middle look like someone's vacation photos. Disney maybe. But this was only with a super contrast boost after scanning. I did some research and found that the film was at least twenty years old.

Apparently the film was at the end of the roll when I bought the camera, but the advancing mechanism kept working. I must have made fifty shots over the last frame, thinking after each one, that certainly that was the last frame! Eventually I caught on.

Anyway, can't wait to see what you come up with, Deb.

As for me, I shot two rolls this month in a Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim, a creaky little piece of plastic with a 22mm lens. And Tom will be happy to know that I have more Smena 8M photos to share...

I'm back from an exciting springbreak!
10 days at the film set as a camera assistent and set photographer on a movie directed by a student of Wim Wenders.
And the last 10 days I spent travelling Morocco with a good friend with whom I will built a darkroom in a 140sqm atelier we started renting with 10 other collegues!
In 5 weeks there's gonna be the first exhibit of my gypsy portraits in our own atelier so there are lots of very cool things I can look forward too.
Anyway here are some quick scans from the film production and Morocco (the color slides are still waiting at the lab..).

(A lot) more to come...

Where is everybody?!

Ok anyway so here's some stuff I was looking forward to getting scanned. These are some of my favorites from the trip to Morocco.
The whole set can be viewed on my flickr gallery.

Thanks Sarah! :-)

Unfortunately 80% of my 35mm slides I took (and the lens I took them with) turned out to be rubbish because (as I have noticed after getting back) the 50/1.8 lens I used for most of the shots didn't stop down the aperture when taking the photo, so most of them were overexposed.
My Mamiya worked like a charme though, even after two days of sandstorm in the moroccon desert...

Oh Christophe, how disappointing for you. I looked through the set on Flickr and was most impressed.

I finally shot off a roll, got it developed, and scanned. More to follow.

Couldn't do any actual prints though because i didnt have a 6x7 Negitive carrier :(
