We are back for another season of The Phoenix Film Revival Podcast! And what better way to start it off than to hear from various film photographers in the Phoenix community?!

On Sunday, January 28th we hosted our first film photography meetup of the year and had over 90 people come out to celebrate. Stacy and I opened up the lab to hang out and connect with the community. Our friend Aaron Markus (@8amfilms) came through to DJ in the back courtyard. Stacy coordinated a photo scavenger hunt along Grand Ave. I put together a slideshow with photos from various photographers and Tonissa helped check everyone in for the giveaway. 

We also wanted to hear from the community and let folks hop on the podcast for a few minutes to share what camera they brought, what film they were shooting and what their film goals are for 2024.

Special thanks to our guest for joining us!

Weegee, whose real name was Arthur Fellig, was a renowned American photographer and photojournalist. He gained fame in the mid-20th century for his gritty and often shocking black-and-white photographs of crime scenes, accidents, and urban life in New York City. Weegee's work was characterized by its raw and unflinching portrayal of the city's underbelly, capturing the harsh realities of crime, poverty, and everyday life. His distinctive style and ability to be on the scene quickly earned him a reputation as a pioneering street photographer and a significant figure in the history of documentary photography.

So why not contact him as well as a few other deceased photographers via the Oujia board? Stacy, Tonissa, Dave and I attempt to contact some spirits for this episode and share some spooky photography related themes.

The average life of a roll of film often ends as soon as the images are scanned into digital files and are discarded never to be handled by the photographer again. Heck, up until the last few years, Walgreens and CVS would develop your film and wouldn't even offer to return your negatives as it was seen as an unnecessary cost in handling. 

Sadly, many film photographers are not informed or educated on the value of retaining their negatives. From the art of make traditional darkroom prints to the ability to rescan at higher resolutions, there are plenty of reason to hang onto these little bits of magical plastic. 

Along comes The Film Hound, a small business run by Jonathon Kohn. Focused on the preservation of film, their goal is to help keep these rolls out of the landfill and instead, neatly tucked away in binders to live out the rest of their lives in a comfortable climate controlled binder until they are needed again.

Henry Fox Talbot was a British scientist and inventor who is best known for his pioneering work in the field of photography. He is credited with inventing the "calotype" or "talbotype" process, which was an early photographic method using paper negatives. This innovation laid the foundation for modern photography, as it allowed multiple positive prints to be produced from a single negative, unlike earlier methods. Talbot's contributions to the development of photography established him as one of the key figures in the history of this art form.
