Learn Film Photography
Building Community, and teaching Eco-Friendly Film and Print Development
There’s a joy with film photography that just can’t be replicated with digital cameras. It’s not just the color or the feeling of film that keeps us coming back to analog photography. But it’s the tangibility of the medium, the fact that this is a process made and changed simply by the way we interact with it. Digital imagery can be copied, printed, and published millions of times over, but a negative is a unique, 1-of-a-kind object that could not be recreated by anyone else. Seeing an image appear before you in the darkroom is akin to magic, and we want to share that with as many people as possible.
