Silver Halide Dreams: Getting The Picture

A silver halide is one of the compounds formed between silver and one of the halogens. They are often referred to as the silver halides, and are often given the pseudo-chemical notation AgX. The light-sensitive chemicals used in photographic film and paper are silver halides. A dream is a succession of images, sounds or emotions that the mind experiences during sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood. I decided to poke him a little bit, by joking about how the last time I went to his store, which is supposed to be a "professional" one, there were only 3- rolls of film in the entire, huge, 6 ft tall, double-wide refrigerated cabinet, and they were priced at $12.00 a roll, which is a lot for a 36-exposure roll of color film. Which irritates me, because sometimes I run-out and need some before I can get it shipped from NY, but there's no way I'm going to pay 4-times retail for it. I had heard such rumors. Little things in trade journals, mentions from a couple photographers

A Final Farewell to Kodak Ektachrome (NSFW)

It’s over. Kodak Ektachrome has been discontinued for a little while from my writing and publishing this piece. The company officially declared it the replacement for their legendary Kodachrome film. But as a guy that shot it for years, I never saw it that way. Instead, I always saw it as the sleeper hit film that no one ever paid much attention. While it wasn’t mentioned often, it was still absolutely beautiful.

Though, rolls of the film can still be bought, I’ve personally decided to not become one of those shooters that hoards loads of it in my freezer: instead giving way to chicken and other films that I have lined up for personal projects. My last two rolls of Ektachrome was spent on the Mermaid Day Parade amongst other things recently in NYC, and the images I shot will always remind me of its beautiful colors.

This post is a simple collection of my favorite photos from that roll of film. Big thanks to the Lomography company for the excellent processing and scanning job that they did.
