A lack of photography
I thought I’d confess. I’ve not been making many photos. I had plans. I ordered boxes of Harmon direct positive and FP4, thinking something different would spur me on.
Alas, so far the wherewithal to take large format at home has not happened. I still intend to use the camera more, and in the current situation it’ll be at home. I think I need to expand my thoughts on imagery to the small scale, and the oddities in still life. Plus I could do some portraiture — likely self-portraiture. In that case I could setup to immediately develop, the direct positive a paper especially. It’ll make the end-to-end near-instant, which might act as a positive reinforcement to do more.
In the same vein I thought I might rectify the lack of photography with more Instax photography, about all I have been doing. However I ordered the wrong size (mini not wide) I can either try to return or hold onto it. I’d thought about getting an Instax mini camera before, and may do eventually.
The last thing is the other film I ordered, Ektachrome in 120. I’ll dig out the ETRS and use it in that. One advantage is I’ll be sending it off for development, and perhaps even scanning. I’m really looking forward to seeing large positives on the light table.
So as you can see I’m in a photography doldrums. I’ve some thoughts about getting out of it, so will make some plans to do one of them, and stick to them!
