If you enjoyed Film February you might want to join March of Film. The http://marchoffilm.com/ website says:
"March Of Film is a theme-based project with two simple goals:
Spark your creativity
Keep film alive
So grab your favorite cameras, load up that film you’ve been wanting to try, get out there & have some fun!
How It Works:
A list of 10 themes will be posted on March 1, 2013
Choose one theme per week (or shoot them all!) by March 31, 2013
Upload your photos to our Flickr group &/OR post to Twitter with the hashtag #marchoffilm
At the end of March you will have the opportunity to submit your favorite MOF photos to be published in the first ever March of Film book!"
@bobfoto Have you thought of developing them yourself. All you need is a two or three roll tank and either b&w or colour chemicals. The reels for holding the film expand from 135mm to 120. I buy my stuff from Vanbar in Sydney or macodirect in Germany. I started doing b&w earlier this year and have moved onto colour. It really isn't that hard. I use the closet in our bedroom as a darkroom to load the film into tank, and then do the rest in the kitchen. The easiest form of development is stand development with adonal. I taught myself by watching a few videos on YouTube. @grizzlysghost has done the same and he really lives in the backwoods.
@chewyteeth dave, we should challenge you to going outside the awesome model shoots and give you more scenery, urban pattern, our household objects just to give you more.
@bobfoto I actually really enjoy the developing process because it forces me to slow down while doing something so methodical. it is peaceful for me.
man that shit just bores me, I dunno why. Shoot something at me and I bet I can link you to where I've done it already. I wish I could take a photo of a fork or a branch but I vomit and self harm when I think about doing it. Anyway have you seen my pics from this month? how many different ways can you photograph a tree in a snowy field?
@chewyteeth@phillyphotos how many ways can you shoot legs or cheesecake. I can guess what Robbie Burns would make of it: the farrow and plough. It all leads to one place. Spring!
@chewyteeth I know, I love a good abstract, but really my kitchen is pretty damn boring along with my dining room and back yard of dead winter flowers. Some people love to take that and lately and luckily I am feeling the urban grit of my new neighborhood. Off to take two rolls tomorrow of that, but now I remember why I stop and take a break every so often. I will say I did have an awesome time at the beach off season.
@phillyphotos did I mention the airport on Buenos Aries is most boring in world. A 60's decaying monstrosity but therefore a great place to take photographs. I just have a couple of rolls ready at all times and shoot when I need to meditate or see an opportunity. @chewyteeth ps I found in uni library one ribald poems of Burns. It seems these were mostly drafts for later things. Man he could write and had a way with women.
@phillyphotos I think @chewyteeth should take on an intellectual challenge such as photographing bricolage and its use in modernity, or the place of the post industrial parody in post capitalist society.
Existentialism versus materialism, ignorance in postmodern society - a photo-essay.
We could always set each other ridiculously difficult projects and to accompany with text.
