Well, it took us long enough, but the Shutter Brothers (Kelley and Kevin Lane) are back with a brand new Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast episode (#19), and we really had fun making it. We love to talk about our adventures in film photography, and we hope you listeners enjoy the show when you hear it. You are why there is a podcast in the first place!
Kevin is up first with an update regarding the Woodstation Photography Club, which is his effort to engage and excite elementary school students in the art, craft, and fun of shooting and developing film. Thanks to some very nice and generous listeners, the club has a number of cameras for the students to use. However, the students need a supply of film and developing tools. Kevin created a DonorsChoose project for this, and once again our listeners came through big time. A growing number of students are being issued a camera and a roll of film, and soon they will get to see there results. Kevin is hoping to put on a show with the students' work in the spring, so stay tuned for updates.
Next, Kelley discusses his favorite lens focal lengths and why he prefers to use wide angle lenses most of the time. Of course, he brought a collection of lenses the show to discuss why he likes each one and why you might as well.
Then Kevin comes back with a review of the Cinestill Df96 Monobath. In case you don't know, a monobath is a chemistry that combines developer, stop bath, and fixer into a single easy to use and store one liter bottle. Why would Kevin need a monobath these days? The answer is that he recently has moved into a small (685 square feet) condo in downtown Chattanooga (he loves it, by the way!) Storage space is very limited, so a monobath may by the perfect B&W chemistry for anyone who lives in an apartment or other small space. And the results were quite nice!
The Shutter Brothers wrap the show up with a couple of listener letters (which we love to get!) If you would like to be a part of a future show, you can send us an email or even a voice memo to unclejonesyscamers@gmail.com. You also can go to our Facebook page and post your comments, questions, and stories there. Once again, you are the reason we make this show, so let us know what you want to hear on future shows.
In the meantime, let us say to listeners out there how thankful we are for each and every one of you. We wish you peace, love, and the happiest of Thanksgiving Days. And don't forget to load your camera with film and capture those fleeting moments with family and friends. You won't regret it.
Happy Shooting!
