Okay, first off, this is *not* a new episode of All Through a Lens. This is also not a new venture.  It was record before we knew the podcast was ending. 

This is the first of what was to be some fill-in episodes. We'd then take our normal summer break and then come back with Vania in August. I know it's not the same, but I hope you give it a listen. I personally think it's a good episode with some good information and some fun a...

Hello everybody. This is Eric. And I have some pretty bad news for you considering the podcast. As of now the podcast is ending. We are both utterly gutted and heartbroken over this decision. We both loved the podcast so very much. And we love the friends and listeners more than they will probably know. I know for some of you it's just another podcast you listen to. And I get that, I listen to a lot of podcasts myself. But for u...

On this episode of Dev Party Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) try out some new old ideas! But first, Vania developed a roll of Fuji Velvia 50 220 in C-41 - that's right, 220! And it looks amazing! Eric fell back on the old standby of Fomapan 100 in FA-1027 - in 4x5, of course. He had a bad hike and it shows.

 

We also answered a few questions about d...

On this episode of Dev Party, Vania (@surfmartian on IG) tests out a new color emulsion - Wolfen Color NC 500 by ORWO! Meanwhile Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers on IG) developed Fomapan 100 sheets, including some with a half frame dark slide... you'll see.

Vania developed her shots in C-41, and you can see them below!

 

And Eric's are here:

On this episode, Jess Hobbs drops by! Vania talks about the largest pinhole camera ever built, while Eric explains why Indigo isn't a real color. Jess dives into the weird "new" "Rolleiflex" "camera" prank.

There's also a zine review and some interesting banter concerning the differences between US breakfasts and Canadian breakfasts. And guess which one of us has never had Tang.

It’s another odd show, and we’re actually changing things up again! For most of the show we’ll be talking to Liz Potter (@lizpotterphotography on IG) and Amy Elizabeth (@itsamyliz on IG) about the Fallacy of the Sunk Cost Fallacy and why you shouldn’t just give up on a project.

We’ll have our regular banter, but Eric will also tell you a little about the first photos taken of the e...

On this episode of Dev Party, Vania and Eric are starting something a bit different. We asked listeners to write in with questions about film developing, photography, or just anything, really. If you've got a question, just send it in via email or on IG.

While answering questions from Brandy B @film_diary_of_a_redhead, Billy Sanford @bsanfordjr and @analogkilla, we also develo...

On this episode of All Through a Lens we’re experimenting with a slightly new format – the Odd Episode! These are the episodes that somehow fall between our regular episodes and the Dev Party episodes.

Vania and Santa Cruz

First up is Vania who talks about her project in Santa Cruz. She’s filming on Super 8 in the damn water and shooting 120 there too. It’s for an upcoming film...

On this episode we talk a bit about the Ansel Method – What is it? Why is it? Does it work? But more importantly, while we dev, Vania tells us all about her trip up north.

Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartorgraphers on IG) shot Agfa APX25, which expired in 2003, in the greatest medium format camera ever made: the Mamiya RB67.

Here are his:

On this episode of Dev Party we’re developing film and talking about the ethics of photographing abandoned places (sort of, you’ll see).

Eric shot some Kodak TMax 100, expired in 1991. And because of this, we talk a bit about what we were doing that year. We’ve forgotten a lot.

Meanwhile, Vania shot some Portra 160, also through the Mamiya RB67. Vania lets slip her complete l...

While we don't have a regular episode for you because we're on a much-earned winter break, Vania and Eric are doing a bit of a check in. Mostly we're discussing Kodak's price increases? Is it just in line with inflation or is Kodak realizing they have a monopoly? We give advice to those wondering what to do now they Kodak has out-priced them. And we also give some advice to the advice-givers (check your privilege, okay?). We ...

On this Dev Party - the first episode of the newest of years, Vania and Eric try some old and some new. There's also quite a bit of graveyard talk, which makes a bit of sense.

Vania developed some old ass Ilford Delta 400. It was long ago expired and absolutely looks it. Of course, she shot them while in the water, using her Pentax 645 and waterhousing. She developed it in R...

On this episode of Dev Party, Vania has a something to share with the class! She got her hands on a Widelux panoramic camera and refuses to give it back! She shot some TMax P3200 around town and let’s see what they look like.

Meanwhile, Eric developed the last seven sheets of expired Tri-X that he shot on his trip in July. Is 1981 too expired to work? Probably not, but ...

On this episode of Dev Party, we ask the musical question: Why Is Lint? We also sort of somewhat answer it!

Even though you didn’t specifically ask for it, we’re giving out unsolicited advice on how to deal with lint!

Meanwhile, Vania @surfmartian developed some Fuji Acros in HC-110. She shot it in some Leica she’s borrowing. Eric @conspiracy.of.cartographers, however, developed t...
