panorama camera - Expired roll
Rick Alarcon is a US photographer in Paris , France, specializing in portraits, events, and artistic photography.
I found an old point and shoot panorama camera in my things. It’s not a true panorama, but rather a 35mm point and shoot that blacks out the frame to give that panorama letterbox look. I didn’t even know I still had the camera, let alone that there was film on it. Expired film, plastic camera, light leaks, sitting in a box for years. Perfect, let’s develop it.
So here’s a roll of expired Fujifilm 200, probably from around Covid time from what I can see. Images were left untreated and at original crop, because there is no coming back for these.
There’s no lesson to take from this as it is a miracle anything came out of this roll, and though not the greatest, some nice memories of friends from a forgotten time.

Film photography costs - from purchasing, to development and scanning, to printing - can make it difficult to regularly produce work, so in the event that you would like to be a patron of the arts and support me, you can now do so. You would be helping me to acquire the tools to make more images. and not only would you be helping me, but also those who can’t donate, as I intend to deliver the same images for all.
All support goes towards the purchase, development, scanning, printing and furthering of my analog film work. Images will always be made available via the blog, as well as some notes to let you know how it is all going and other thoughts. Support and help me create.
Cheers,
Rick

I’ll try to start blogging more images here as well as on social media, as it is a bit limiting in presenting work and my friends tell me I like to talk a lot. I turned back to film for daily work recently: refreshing, brain twisting, highly recommended to stretch the muscles.
My parents’ Canon AE-1 50mm FD f/1.8, Ilford fp4 125 pushed one stop, reflx lab meter, labo and scan: reportage-image. Two test rolls. May post the duds one day (only one here cause there was some weird ‘me double exposure/I-don’t-know-what + lab/development’ and it looked cool.
