Internet to get the word out about the reinvention of the craft. On websites and podcasts, you can learn
about everything from shooting with expired film using a Polorid Instant camera
to shooting with large format film using a Hasselblad. Sites like Michael Raso’s filmphotographypodcast.com broadcast all things related to film photography—toy and professional. It’s an Internet radio show they say is “for folks who love to shoot film.” While many people in the photography industry thought film would die, it has instead merged with other technology to make itself relevant to not only film photographers, but also the general public as well.
Banter on Raso’s show extends to talk of cute 110 cameras, which use tiny film cartridges, capable of producing sharp 13X17 mm negatives; the Pentax 110 SLR camera, which was once touted as producing color images of outstanding quality up to 11" x 14 and the vivatar 600, something you might find in your basement. Antics on his YouTube video include shooting with the 1947 Ansco Pioneer 616, which takes a flash bulb that is as big as a 60 watt light bulb. In order to protect himself from the flash Raso’s sidekick needs a helmet to cover his head. |
