All the film I put on etsy was sponsored within hours. Now, it’s all been developed and scanned. The resulting darkroom sessions were some of the best I’ve ever had.

Roll #1

This one is cross-processed slide film from the Propane Hunt at the end of May. Sponsored by Mike Estee.

Roll #2

One shot from How to Destroy the Universe at NIMBY, and the rest from the Propane Hunt. Sponsored by Kate McKinley.

Roll #3

More Propane Hunt photos. Sponsored by Courtney Gerzymisch

Roll #4

From further in the past than I suspected. This was from a trip to the Madonna Inn for Star St. Germain’s birthday. Mary Bee is the model here. This is one of the first rolls of film I shot in my Mamiya RB67. It was difficult to use back then – easily the largest camera I’d ever tried to carry around. It’s more than twice the weight and size of my large format camera. Now, it’s very familiar – an extension of me when I hold it. Without those early learning days, I certainly wouldn’t be able to carry this camera around to the parties and events where I’ve gotten such amazing shots.

This one was sponsored by Reed Kennedy

Roll #5

This is my first roll of black and white infrared film, and definitely not my last. There was a lot of strange distortion, possibly caused by heat. I love the look of it anyway.

Roll #6

Most of this roll was from the Corpus Callosum show at the Fishtank. Multiple exposures with pretty stage lighting.

Roll #7

64 iso Tungsten slide film, shot at Sand by the Ton and then cross-processed. I returned home from that party to discover that all six rolls I posted in the afternoon had been claimed. This one was done and ready to be dropped off at the lab. Nina Alter got this one shortly after I posted it.
