Okay y’all, I’m about to dump some film/disposable camera photography info on y’all. This is straight from a developers standpoint.

Warning: a few curses.

1. BE FUCKING PATIENT!!! Especially in these times we are so swamped were months behind because of shutting down. We’re begging you be patient, especially if you have more than just a couple rolls of film.

2. Please fill out the correct complete information on the correct form, it makes everyone’s life easier.

3. Don’t call. Email. If you have questions about your order please email rather than call. We’re not going to stop everything to look through hundreds and hundreds of orders just to find yours. That would take hours.

4. Yea those cutesy wedding disposable ideas? SUCK DON’T DO THEM!!! They suck in all capacities. No one knows how to take pictures with them or use flash so you end up only getting three out of almost 30 and more often than not they’re just of a lamp or the table cloth. Then you have to pay for the developing and printing and shipping of those shitty pictures and no one is happy to be wasting that much money or time on them. If you have an outdoor reception fine, go ahead, but make sure they use all of the camera film, otherwise, again waste of time and money. Plus I can’t tell you the amount of days I come home with bleeding thumbs because of the number of cameras people send in that are almost completely unused.

5. Usually each roll costs about $5 to just put through the chemicals to make it viewable. If you get prints or scans, it isn’t free and doesn’t come included in that price.

6. Develop only IS NOT meant to be marked if you’re getting prints or scans. Please read the words next to it. Dev. Only means just running it through the chemicals.

7. Please mark if you want your film cut or not. Especially if you’re a develop only customer. It saves us all time that we could use to get your order, and everyone else’s, done quicker.

8. Help your elderly people. Ask them to use card or paypal.

9. Please please please don’t try to calculate the total and send in checks or money or money orders. It sucks for everyone because you’re more than likely wrong.

10. Be kind to us. We have your film and memories. We have to take our time to do it right. We’re not CVS or Walmart.

11. Don’t say ‘I’m so disappointed’ or some shit like that cus it sticks. Especially the person has social anxiety. That’s all they’ll remember for a long time and every person who says shit like that it just builds up.

12. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY HUMAN IN THE WORLD!!! EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING THE SAME THING YOU ARE DOING AND CLEANING UP ALL THEIR SHIT AND SENDING IN ALL THEIR SHIT!!! THIS SHIT TAKES TIME AND MONEY AND EVERY TIME YOU WANNA COMPLAIN ITS TIME YOURE TAKING FROM US GETTING YOU AND EVERYONE ELSES ORDERS DONE!!

13. Know what you’re getting and what you have. If you have questions ask, we enjoy what we do and like making recommendations and helping you find what you’ll be happiest with, but keep in mind to ask about pricing. Some of it costs more than others.

14. If it’s 110/126 film, I bet of you, don’t bother. The pictures suck, the quality sucks, the cost is astronomical, and every soul hates them. They are the bane of our work.

15. Seriously just ask. And don’t get shitty if it’s not exactly what you expected. If something was really wrong and it was wrong on our side we’ll be happy to fix it for free, just be nice. Otherwise we will respectfully tell you to fuck off. We’ve done it before.

Edit: also side note, we do have to view your pictures, so you can’t put ‘don’t look’ unless you’re doing develop only. However there’s no need to be embarrassed or awkward, I can say with 88.6% certainty it’s not worse than one of our regulars, plus it’s always interesting to see.

Beautiful night with my beautiful boy 🌸

Results for a recently-developed roll of film. Love me some Fujifilm 400H, and a big shame it isn't available in 35mm anymore.

Both shots with Pentax K1000 body. Monarch butterfly shot with SMC A* 300mm/f4 lens. Landscape shot with SMC A 24mm/f2.8 lens.

My own DSLR scan of this shot on Fuji 400H film. Shot with a K1000 and SMC A* 300mm f/4 lens (at F5.6, I think).

I like the visible color grain in the out of focus regions, and the way the contrast on the monarch makes it pop from the areas around it.

Chest harness from the back.

Pentax K1000, Takumar 50mm f1.4, Ilford Ortho Plus 80 developed in Cinestill Df96.

35mm Film photos from Rhode Island, September 2023. Shot on Fuji 400H in a Pentax K1000, developed by The Darkroom and scanned on my Epson V500 Photo.

Am I a creature of love or of malice? This ache of mine, why must it persist?
