Episode 13: Absolutely (Say It Again)

<p>On this episode, we’ve got tips from listeners, a call with Iowa Amy, how to do your own tri-chromes, we’ll talk about a couple of pictures we took, there’s zine reviews and so much more.</p> <p>We first check in with each other. Vania is looking for inspiration, but realizes it’s been there all along. Eric just wanted some snow. Sort of. Vania talks about how the camera is her way of interacting, while Eric realizes that he’s getting old.</p> <p><a href='https://allthroughalens.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/vericolor113a.jpg'></a></p> <p>Those who bought the Slow Meow film are thanked, and those interested in the ECN-2 process are invited to find out via the kits Eric is making: <a href='https://www.etsy.com/listing/781436189/ecn-2-color-film-developing-kit-pre'>Here</a>.</p> <p><a href='https://allthroughalens.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/200223-canonet-fuji100-05s.jpg'></a></p> <p>Moving on once more to the answering machine, we asked listeners to call in with their film photography tips. Just one, and make it quick.</p> <p>The response was great! We received such advice as “don’t be afraid” and “every frame is a lesson” to the practical advice like “throw away the lens cap” and “get an immersion heater.” It was a lovely mix. Thanks to all who called in!</p> <p>Vania and Eric gave their own tips as well. Obviously.</p> <p><a href='https://allthroughalens.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/amy1.jpg'></a></p> <p>We then gave a call to <a href='https://www.amyblessingphotography.com/'>Amy Blessing</a>. You might know her as @iowaamy on IG. She was in the first American Colors show in St. Louis and is working on a project and book documenting towns along the Mississippi River in Iowa.</p> <p>If you’re not familiar with her work, it explores the empty spaces of small town, Midwestern life. While many will often overlook this part of the country, Amy and her photography embody it.</p> <p>We talked to her about her rural work, and shooting in the Midwest in general.</p> <p><a href='https://allthroughalens.files.
