Hey folks!

A new video drops on Monday and I wanted to kick things off with a poll about how you manage your photography and/or videography storage.

In my years of working retail and freelance for a lot of different photographers, it's become apparent that not everyone out there is backing up their work. Are you? If so, how do you go about it?

Hey Large Format and Ultra-Large Format Shooters!

This is the final week to get in touch with your nearest participating Ilford Harman dealer to take part in the ULF 2025 Special Order program.

If you're looking for some of the best prices from North American dealers, I'd recommend checking out the good folks over at The ‪@FilmPhotographyProject‬ Store:

filmphotographystore.com/collections/ilford-ultra-…

In the meantime, get that film freezer ready and go shoot some big sheets!

Hey Y'All, long time and all that. I'm going to leverage this platform today to share with you a video that I think every photographer should see.

‪@tonysantophotography‬ Does an excellent job breaking down what elements of diet and exercise are critical to being able to shoot what you want for as long as you want.

Sadly in this video Tony isn't reviewing, critiquing, or selling anything, thus the algorithm has pushed it down below the mountain of AI slop and hype for new 35mm cameras that don't exist.

Don't sleep on your health, and do another large format shooter a solid by checking out this video!

This past weekend was a blast! Over 200 film shooters converged on downtown Columbus to walk the Scioto Mile, soak in the Spring weather, and share their love of film over some beers.

BIG Thanks to Mike at The‪@FilmPhotographyProject‬ and Trev Lee of ‪@TheDarkroomLab‬ for making this event happen. Here's the edit from our LIVE episode of FPP #320 featuring ‪@mattdayphoto‬ and the guys from The Darkroom:

Good afternoon folks! It's been way too long between episodes and it's time for that to change.

Happy Ultra-Large Format Friday! Today is the last day to get in your orders for the Ilford ULF special order program. If you're looking for B&W films in sheet and roll sizes other than 4x5, 5x7, or 8x10, this is it!

www.ilfordphoto.com/the-18th-ilford-photo-ulf-camp…

Orders placed during the ULF program typically ship in late Fall/early Winter of the same calendar year, so expect those big sheets just in time for the holidays.

See y'all soon and happy shooting!
