For this, our seventh episode, Vania (@surfmartian) starts things off with a bunch of new film and some chocolate from New Zealand. Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) is jealous, but has some tips on Remjet.

 

This episode’s question was “What was your biggest film photographic failure, and how did you overcome it?” The answers came in droves, and we can’t thank you enough for the support.

 

We then talk film exchange. Eric sent Vania some 45 year old Tasma Mikrat 300 - a 6ISO Soviet microfilm which she used to photograph surfers. How do you think that turned out? You might be surprised.

 

For our call, we rang up Alexia Carroll (@alexia.evangeline - http://www.merelyobservations.com) for a talk on the pros and cons of art school, fine art photography, and women photographing women. 

 

Following Alexia, we talk about the bit of research we did concerning the hot button topic of rebranded film. We go through Kosmo, Silberra, JCH, and of course CatLabs. Who makes all this stuff, and is it okay? (yes, obviously it’s fine, come on).

 

We also let slip a couple of our own project ideas: rebranded film and a zine or two. 

 

More sorrow and woe now follows with the second batch of listener messages about failures. Since Eric spilled all of that in the previous episode, Vania spins her own tale of woe. It involves the RB67 and one hell of a lightleak.
