Well, I can’t use my hotspot on my MacBook so I will type this into my notes and see how it goes maybe I can add this with my phone, I don’t like the idea of it but I do want to share my experience.

UPDATE: They had an accident and did not mean to send the folder half processed. The issue was resolved same day! I will go ahead and add in the missing photos below this and the Blog will continue after!

So. I have mixed feelings with the film process. I am very happy with the outcome, the colors, the overall enjoyment of not knowing and waiting. I am a little upset at the fact that I am missing some photos and still waiting to hear back as to why.

Could it be that some how the film messed up? Could I have exposed wrong and they been beyond saving and the company did not want to bother with sending them? I am being as optimistic as possible and keeping a positive mindset on the situation until resolved.

I can say, for $80+ I do think I will look into other options and prices for developing .TIF format. Some photos I can see dust and hair which I will have an example of under this. Still, I don’t mind that so much because I love that rustic look of it but it is still something to add because maybe I wanted something super clear and really in all honestly it should be for the price.

The .TIF format is what most of the money was for and I do really enjoy having some kind of after control, but I do not feel it is really necessary unless I am shooting a special ordered film, like the Karmir 160, or Lomochrom 92’ I have ordered.

I don’t want to add the companies name until I hear back the reason as to why I only received 16 images (2 are blanks) from a 36 exposure roll, so maybe it was a mistake and it will be corrected which I will update at the header of this Blog when time comes. I just don’t want to give or spread hate over what is probably a simple mistake.

A company I will definitely be trying within the next week is going to be Thirty Nine Photo Shop, I love the story, the guy I have shared a couple of emails with, and their store offers some really amazing film I will really enjoy trying. Their prices are really fair and I just want to give my business to someone who’s passionate about the stories created in photography. I highly recommend checking them out, watch their video on their home page. This is not in anyway some kind of paid promotion or partnership or anything like that, I just want to support a really good place.

I will add a separate Blog about expired film in the coming week so if you’re interested come on back. I would say sign up for newsletters but I am not paying Squarespace $80 a month for me to send 4 fucking emails to someones spam folder a month.
