“The last good long weekend” would be so fun as another t shirt design / chest badge

@ToyStoryNBarneyFan Ай бұрын

Cool video! I would like to mention that the only new film scanners (not the cheap ones with the screens on them like the Kodak Scanza) you could find today are ones made by Plustek and Pacific Image. They might not match the quality of Noritsu and Frontier but they’re the closest you can get today to scanners like those. Regardless, it’s refreshing to see new film labs opening up in modern day

@RumoHasIt Ай бұрын

This is SO COOL to see! I bought the backpack and shoulder bag this weekend before even seeing this, so its so so cool to see this video pop up soon after! Congrats on your hard work, and wishing you much success!

Around 2002 I worked in a 1 hour photo lab in a big box store. We had Fuji machines but probably newer than the ones in this video. There was an auto enhance button that was used when making corrections. But when we were slow I would manually make the corrections. The lab became the go-to for everyone in town. I really wish I would have kept doing that work as a side gig.

@JohnGetonTop Ай бұрын

Thats amazing, congratulations! I hope to be able to visit your store on day! it looks gorgeous. Greetings from Greece!

@Edgy01 Ай бұрын

Congratulations for getting up and running! I keep a traditional wet darkroom on my home with both a Leitz Focomat V35 and an IC enlarger. I just mostly develop B/W films. For computer digitization I start by scanning my 120 and 35mm stuff with my Nikon Super Coolscan 8000 ED. Host computer is a Mac with two very large screens. I use both Photo Shop and Lightroom. I mostly shoot Fuji Velvia in my Hasselblads and have Color Services in Santa Barbara send the stuff out for processing in LA.

I work across the street from Kodak tower in Rochester NY. Elsewhere in town, the Eastman museum tour is worth the trip in the spring and fall. Can you imagine taking a photo and pony express'ing it across country then back before you got a pic in your hands?

The experience of film overarches photography. It’s a different animal. Nobody waits for anything nowadays. Tom Petty said it best, “the waiting is the hardest part…” (And best)

@julian_sp Ай бұрын

As someone who works in a film lab, its crazy how 90% of film that comes through are from disposables. Organizing/sorting peoples film is also the worst.

@pwalshofficial Ай бұрын

I can't agree more with finding a lab you can establish a healthy relationship with. It really takes the headaches that come with shooting film out of the equation. Should out to Garland Camera in Garland, TX. Best lab in North Texas and it's not even close.
