Ethan is away making magic in New York City so Nick and Graham go old school with a chatty old-timey podcast. They talk about what they've been doing since the last show, Graham's new Franken Holga 3D Stereo abomination to make pictures no one can figure out, the arrival of Nick's Lomograflok back for Instax Wide, Nick's appearance on Cameraocity (Cocaine and Waffles), and what a sustainable analog future might look like.  Thanks to Robbie Cribbs of Sound Trap Studios (https://soundtrapstudios.com/Sound_trap_studios/Home.html) for letting us use the music.

In Episode 75, we talk to David Hancock about his Kickstarter for a set of 4 different pinhole cameras, his YouTube channel, and why bamboo is a great building material.  Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davidmhancock/large-format-pinhole-cameras-to-build-at-home YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/hancockDavidM Fireseller66 (maker of fine pinholes for pinhole cameras): https://www.ebay.com/sch/fireseller66/m.html

In this episode, we welcome in the wonderfully off-kilter mind of Joe Van Cleave. He talks about a bunch of wonderful stuff and he and Ethan demo the self-developing 20X24 Super Behemoth*.  *Not it's official name. 

E74 Joe Van Cleave

Graham received a message on Etsy from ArlenB asking if it's possible to recreate the Holga with a few twists. "Out of curiosity, is there anything preventing you from making the plans to print a regular Holga 120GCFN, with an interchangeable lens, zone focusing, and no light leaks, or is that too difficult?" This episode is a discussion about a potential Holga replacement.

I'm not sure we actually talk much about chromatic aberration, it just sounded smart as a title.  We welcome in Jason Lane (https://www.pictoriographica.com/ and https://www.instagram.com/pictoriographica/) to talk everything lenses, dry plates and the secret base in the Antarctic.

Thanks Robbie!

About 40 minutes in we experience some audio issues and the quality degrades and suddenly Graham is replaced with Wallace Shawn (thanks, Ethan). Sorry about that.  There are quite a few swears in this episode.  We welcome Erik Mathy (IG: erikhmathy) to talk about homemade lenses, how he got from the Land of Cheese to the Land of Fog, why you should match your lens to the subject you shoot, and many other things.  The link to the Google Docs spreadsheet to calculate your own lens: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yQ3dsD0Rs-HflRcnPYHSmK0soLXtykGAPl8pdZcrBpM/edit#gid=0 The link to Susan Burnstine's website: http://www.susanburnstine.com/ Simon Forster of the LFPP (https://largeformatphotographypodcast.podbean.com/) and The Classic Lenses Podcast (https://www.classiclensespodcast.com/) wrote this in the YouTube chat during the show: Suggestion for the title of this week's show; Graham's Felt-Lined Shaft. That's all on you, Simon.  Watch the show on YouTube if you want: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJd7umuR8Fg)

E68 Erik Mathy makes Homemade Lenses

We welcome in Nicole Small (IG Nicole Small One on One https://www.instagram.com/nicolesmall_oneonone/) for a talk about her YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXbIGe6luBekTIvnKBhYIow) series on the Cyanotype process and all about the cameras she has built and will build in the near future. 

E67 Nicole Small and the Cyanotype Process

Just a quick little catch-up on what we have been doing lately. 

E66 What we are working on.

Ethan, Nick, and Graham get together to talk about stereo photography, the use of two lenses to create images that appear to be in 3D.  Graham is enthusiastic.  Nick is skeptical. Ethan is pedantic.  Ian Fleming (https://www.instagram.com/ifleming/ or simply @ifleming) stops by in the latter part of the show to talk about his experiences with the subject.  You can read Ethan's Wiki article about Ren Ng (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren_Ng). However, Ethan's presentation about stereo photography that he presented in front of 1 (one, as in one more than zero, which we should all acknowledge is greater than zero) is not currently available on the interwebs. He thinks he can resurrect it and if he can, we all think he should put it on the Homemade Camera YouTube.  And, speaking of, this episode is available on the aforementioned YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ3JmlNccVI&t=140s). If you've never been to YouTube, this would be a good time to get your feet wet. It's a really cool place. Seriously.  I'm not joking, it's cool.   

E65 Stereo Photography

We talk with Matt Bechberger of Reveni Labs about his new spot meter.  Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mattbechberger/reveni-labs-spot-meter-tiny-spot-meter-for-your-film-camera/ YouTube: https://youtu.be/1eqb5lGYvdY Website: https://www.reveni-labs.com/  

E64: Matt Bechberger and his Wondrous Spot Meter

We talk about the fabulous (for homemade cameras) year that was 2020. 

E63 2020 Year in Review

We experiment a bit with this episode. We livestreamed on a bunch of services and recorded it. Erik Mathy dropped by. Nick laments the paving of the world. Other stuff. 

E62 Livestreamed to the world.

Nick, Ethan & Graham talk about building and modifying cameras. New episodes on the 7th and 21st of each month.
