Agfa Plus 200
You know what I love about this roll of Agfa? The popping-bright reds. It’s really great.
Shot this roll mainly on the mean streets of Chicago, but saved a few shots for the hometown scene. Like the Tri X, I shot this roll using my Canonet.
Good stuff. One film to remember.
A Roll of Tri X
Tried out a roll of Kodak Tri X 400 on my Canonet since, gosh, this past winter (the snow-covered driveway gives it away).
For the first time, I sent a few rolls of film away to get processed and printed, with great results. It’s not cheap, but quality counts.
Make Local
Over the summer, I worked on a portrait project with local artists in Jackson, Michigan. I talked with them about their craft, how they got started, and why they stuck around our hometown to do creative work.
The project is called Artists In Jackson: Make Local. The kicker was each artist had to be from Jackson, and had to still be doing their thing in Jackson. And the project focused on visual artists, but that could be anyone from graphic designers to painters to videographers and photographers.
This fall, I’ll launch the project to the public. But for now, you can sign up for a newsletter (of sorts) to get updates when it’s ready to roll, including fun behind the scenes shots and announcements about the project.
Stay tuned!
