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

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!

semana santa ensalada: portra 400/ilford hp5/colorplus

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

Went down to Spain for Semana Santa, ate too much fried fish (there is never really too much). Airport scanners decided to cook my film, so unfortunately this is all that remains for public consumption of 3 rolls. Well, the ones I think are good enough. Want to see more outtakes? Nah, didn’t think so, me neither. But to be honest, I don’t mind so much. That’s why I decided to shoot my day-to-day work on film, for the chaos. Makes what remains feel more special.

Next up, client-supported rolls! Thanks to the kindness of others, I was able to obtain a few more rolls and they are already being shot, including some cinema film (exciting!). Should be good now that the sun is shining a lot more and my cameras have been cleaned, tuned up and the fridge is full of fresh rolls. Thank you to all who have given support and make it possible. Besos y abrazos a todos!

Find out how you can help support my work, more info about it about here. Cheers and see you next time.
