Grainsplaining #2 Analogue Airheads

Alex and Emma are back for episode two! In this episode we talk about some of the silly, and sometimes tragic ‘mistakes’ we have made with film photography. We share some stories from our followers about various analogue mishaps too! We hope this episode will bring you some comfort- you’re not alone in being an analogue airhead, and also inspire you to pick yourself up and keep shooting!

I Dream of Cameras #37 This Is the Day of the XPanding Man

 VERY SPECIAL EPISODE recapping Jeff’s absurd acquisition of a Hasselblad XPan, and more importantly, his trip to England and Wales to meet all four hosts of the Sunny 16 Podcast!

• In our last episode, Chris Chu talked Jeff out of getting a Hasselblad XPan, so how did he end up impulsively buying one on his first day in London?
• A magical trip to Camera City, the very same place where Jeff found his sacred Alpa 11si ten years ago.. and what should be on the shelf but an XPan?
• And now, the circuit of the Sunnies…
  • Drinks with Ade at the Camera Museum in London
  • A side trip to the Photographer’s Gallery and their incredible film wall
  • Darkroom work with Rachel at her studio at Northern Lights in Liverpool
  • Touring Anglesey and Portmeirion, Wales with Clare
  • Browsing vintage cameras with Graeme at the Cameras London stall at Portobello Road
• An underdiscussed aspect of the XPan: the standard 45mm f/4 lens is incredible!
• In other news… where’s all the film? And why’s the film we have so expensive?
• Gabe has set up an on-deck circle of underused cameras…
• …and has been snapping up photography books
• Thought experiment: if the boys had to cut their collections down to only ten cameras, which would they choose?
• Next episode, we tackle the prodigious mailbag!

On Location: Fumbling in the Dark with Dave Walker, Part 1

I Dream of Cameras #36 Make It Wit Chu

Jeff is on location! Gabe’s just back from the frozen north! And they still manage to find time for a rollicking conversation with photographer and YouTuber Chris Chu. Tune in for the fascinating result — we did indeed rollick!

• Gabe’s adventure at Downtown Camera in Toronto with Jessica Devic
• which camera(s!) Jeff decided to bring on his trip to Atlanta and the UK: Rollei 35 SE and Minox LX
• Polaroid’s new Green Duochrome is great!
• a moderate dip into our moldering mailbag, with more talk of travel cameras and bulk-loading Ektachrome
• Our rollicking interview with Chris Chu:
  • his abrupt decision to abandon a computer science degree in San Francisco to pursue his crazy dream of a photography career in Los Angeles 
  • his journey into film photography, starting with the Canon P
  • and then into medium format with the Pentax 645, the Mamiya RB67 Pro SD and the Mamiya RZ67
  • Chris tries to convince Jeff to get a Big Ugly Box medium-format camera
  • his favorite film stocks Portra 160 and Ektar 100
  • shooting color when you're color-blind
  • what fueled his growing camera-collecting addiction
  • ...but why no 35mm SLRs?
  • what he likes about the rangefinder shooting experience
  • zone focusing: setting a hyperfocal distance and training yourself to use it
  • camera bags — and how many cameras do you carry at once?
  • half-frame cameras: the half-a-cookie debate is reignited!
  • why own the same camera (Leica M6) in both chrome and black?
  • he's flirting with the Leica M-A - Jeff tries to save him by pitching the M3, M2 and CL
  • how do you refrain from getting that next camera? — he doesn’t! he just bought a Hasselblad 501CM!
  • Gabe shows off his 500ELM, an impulse buy at B&H Photo — it’s the Leica M5 of the Hasselblad line
  • Jeff implores Chris to talk him out of the Hasselblad XPan… and he does! whaddya need it for? you have the Widelux!
  • if you have to give away all but one of your cameras, which would you keep? the RZ67!
  • Chris on YouTube and Instagram and his website
