Recently someone suggested I should shoot more “behind the scenes” shots and blog about our process for creating images. After reading that suggestion I walked past my bathroom and immediately discovered my first inspiration.
I have written to you a few times now about my husband’s interest in film photography and how he is inspiring me to join him on journey into medium and large format film photography.
Being a complete “Left Brainer” my husband really enjoys the chemistry behind film photography. Each evening, when he comes in from work, he changes his clothes and checks to see what film needs to be developed and he loads up more 4×5 plates for the next adventure. He says it is a real stress burner for him.
What use to be known as our bathroom has now acquired the new title of “the Magic Room” as it has been transformed into his laboratory/Darkroom.
After much research he purchased an amazing bit of kit to add to our home studio, the Harrison Pup Film Changing Tent. As you can see in the slideshow, our Wheaten Terrier Clover, enjoys helping load film. The addition of this little tent has freed up a lot of time and made changing and loading film while traveling possible. We can even pop up the pup tent in the car or in the field if necessary. We can’t say enough about this great product. Aftrer viewing the slideshow someone pointed out how a “Pup” tent is very appropraite for us.
If you are interested in seeing some of our combined film work, we have recently released a calendar for 2010. You can view and purchase this calendar at this link: SharedPassion
