can’t beat the heat!: photo nation 250D (vision 3)

Rick Alarcon is a US photographer in Paris , France, specializing in portraits, events, and artistic photography.

What a face-melting good time! It took some time to get through this roll, time has been moving slow lately. More cinema film stock, re-packaged Kodak Vision 3 250D. Let’s go!

I’m really a big fan of this look, warm yellows and such, though I don’t like to play favorites, so find me someone bulk rolling cans of 200T and I will let you know.

The lab tells me that the next roll could be a while, but I got a solution! Acquiring the last of the tools right now needed to develop and scan at home for reals reals, so putting that into the routine in the next little while. Thank you for all of those who have supported thusfar to make it possible to be able to do things like that, you make it happen! My humblest thanks to you. If you haven’t supported my work and would like to do so, please click the link here. Cheers to you!

The heat done slow me down a bit, but check for more regular appearances in the near future. Once I get things up a bit more and organized, I’ll be able to post to here a bit more often. Plus more control and savings, but I’ll again be able to do more with what is made available.

les bleus + the blues: fujifilm color 200

The Olympus AF-1 is my new favorite thing. Glorious Fujifilm 200 (donated! thank you! visit the support page, y’all.) showed up in my mailbox and nothing better to beat the scorching heat than a little bit of cool.

Stay cool everyone!

bric-a-brac: colorplus, vision 3 250D, something something.

Rick Alarcon is a US photographer in Paris , France, specializing in portraits, events, and artistic photography.

New point and shoot here! Got my hands on an Olympus AF-1 (purchased from an old Kodak employee, so that’s cool too…thank you for your service, sir). She is exactly the kind of low maintenance, not have to overthink it, daily carry that one needs in their life.

spires.

Things are functioning, more later with that camera.

For now, just a few random bits I’ve been able to take a look and finally put together with more Colorplus, Portra 400 I think, and some Fujifilm? I’m very, very, very selective, so I try to go back and pick out ones I wouldn’t have necessary selected the first time around and well, that takes time. I haven’t been the best at logging things though lately either and have been slowly getting through it all, so here is just a bit of color bric-a-brac.

I’ll have the black and white bits coming shortly. In the meantime, if you would like to support my analog photography, you can do so here. Cheers!

motion pictures: nation photo 250 D (kodak vision 3)

Rick Alarcon is a US photographer in Paris , France, specializing in portraits, events, and artistic photography.

What a deal! The local film lab respools motion picture film and sells it nice and cheap, so I was able to get my hands on some. I really like the feel of it, but I’m very excited for the new 200T they just released. If you have no idea what any of that means, no worries! It just means more means to get some nice shots. Mmm…pure butter, baby.

Yo dawg. I like taking these film images and sharing them with you, but one has to pay for this all somehow, no? Take a peak here and let me know if you can help out in anyway. Ain’t got money, ain’t got crypto? Maybe your old analog film camera is sitting in a closet doing nothing but collecting dust. Send it over here! Muchas gracias to all of those who have helped out so far, muchas gracias to all the amigos who can help out in the future. Cheers everybody!
