I just met another local photographer pursuing film!

Ryan is attending the Film is Not Dead workshop I am going to this summer and we have been emailing each other trying to set up a time to get together and chat. His wife shoots weddings with him and he is just overflowing with excitement about growing his photography business. He is totally obsessive which I can understand perfectly! Their little family came over for dinner with us last night and we BBQ ed in the rain since our power went out.

Anyway, Ryan was telling me about a local lab is trying out called Blue Moon and they are a bit more expensive than the quick stop, but they seem like they would be willing to work with him to create a profile that is just for him with results he will love every time. It would be amazing to have a local resource like this since Richards is so far away and also more spendy than Blue Moon.

  1. You're cracking me up. I know Ryan! In fact, I was almost going to mention to you, that I knew somebody else going to the film is not dead...and I was almost going to recommend you guys contact each other...but I figured it was to far of a stretch to be connecting people...I'm cracking up! Glad you guys found each other! Say HI to Ryan.

  2. Small world. :) It was fun to meet you guys Missy.

    I was going to mention that for now I'm still using Quick Stop Photo but I'm hoping to find someone that is able to give me a specialized profile and get my look down. Blue Moon actually did some absolutely horrible scans for me but I've been chatting with the manager and he's willing to work with me to keep me coming back. I'm finding that developing and scanning is almost just as important as the film type and exposure. So you have to be carful who you trust it to. Maybe I'll just have to bite the bullet and give Richard's a try but they are SOOOOOO expensive. The film adventure continues.
