    Classic Camera Revival - Episode 193 - Creativity In Dark Times

    It's hard to be creative, especially with everything happening. Inspiration isn't there; there is a strange balance between staying informed and sane. Well, even for people who love photography, it can be challenging. But Alex sits down in this episode to talk about his creative rut, how to resist, and some tips on staying creative even in dark times. These things include revisiting a favourite location, trying a new film or camera, learning a new technique, or trying a new form of creativity. If you can't leave the house, maybe you can make a 'zine or a book, finish an old project or plan a new one. But above all, don't abandon your creativity let it be a form of resistance and keep your light on, it's okay for it to dim every so often, give you a chance to regroup, but never let anyone put it out. Resistance is not futile. In 2024 and more recently in January, Hurricanes and Wildfires directly affected tens of thousands of Americans; among them, we're sure are listeners of this podcast and members of the film podcasting community—the floods in North Carolina and, more recently, the fires in California. The fires and floods have destroyed thousands of homes, including that of Gabe Sachs, one of the smash-hit podcasts I Dream of Cameras hosts and displaced the guys behind Joe & Clayton Start and Film Photography Podcast.

    Classic Camera Revival - Episode 191 - Picking & Choosing

    Last year and this month, two natural disasters directly affected tens of thousands of Americans; among them, we're sure are listeners of this podcast and members of the film podcasting community—the floods in North Carolina and, more recently, the fires in California. The fires have destroyed thousands of homes, including that of Gabe Saches, one of the hosts of the smash-hit podcast I Dream of Cameras. If you are able please consider donating to the American Red Cross and under "I Want to Support" select Disaster Relief. Welcome to the new year and the new season! It's pretty darn cold here in Canada, so we're sitting around the table to talk about our favourite developers and the situations in which we use them! From general purpose to speciality, our team has no shortage of chemistry in our kits, but there is also some wisdom in taking the struggle of choosing out of the equation by having only one choice. The team also welcomes our new cohost, Jessica Kosmack, to the team and discusses our photography and podcast plans! Since it's the new season, we might reintroduce our team's Instagram accounts.

    Classic Camera Revival - Episode 190 - Leftovers, Again?

    Well, we have reached the end of our 10th season, so it only makes sense to look back over some of the topics we've covered and fill in some of the gaps we left behind in the initial recording. Zoom Lenses to Leitz, Infrared to Ilford, Fast Lenses to Canon, it's time to tuck in for some holiday leftovers! And from all of our families to all of yours, a heartfelt thank you for sticking with CCR for this season with all the ups and downs and we wish you all the very best of the holiday season however you celebrate (or don't) we'll see you in 2025!

    Classic Camera Revival - Episode 189 - How Fast is Too Fast?

    Fast lenses are everywhere these days, and they have been around for a while, with lenses having wide-open apertures of f/0.95 and f/1.2. But these days it seems everyone wants their wide-angle and standard lenses to have open apertures of f/1.4! So, the team gets around the table to discuss what makes these lenses unique and where they have saved their bacon. Shooting wide-open has some downsides, such as when you need that speed and when you don't.

    Classic Camera Revival - Episode 188 - The Eternal Film

    When it comes to iconic films, there is no black & white film to reach that level than Kodak Tri-X. First introduced in 1940 as a 200-speed sheet film, it hit the market as a roll film in 1954, replacing Kodak Super-XX as Kodak's fast film offering. That means in 2024, it is celebrating its 70th anniversary! With that in mind, the CCR team sits down to discuss Tri-X. What they shoot with it, how they develop it, the frustrations with the film and even some alternatives to Tri-X when the iconic film stock is a little out of reach.

    Episode 186 - Better Living Through Chemistry

    These days, there is a tonne of fantastic film chemistry available, but it can be hard to decide where to go next or even where to start. And while Alex has been developing his film at home for over ten years, he still hasn't touched some developers. But in today's show, he is going to break down a tonne of developers, including Kodak D-76, HC-110, Xtol, Rollei Supergrain, Rodinal, FX-39, Atomal 49, Studional/Hydrofen, Pyro developers and much more. It's a lot of information in a tiny podcast.
