For years I wanted my son to take interest in photography and now that he has I'm at a loss to explain my grumpy look...it's who I am. He quickly gravitated to film and has me back to film at least for now. This is from the first B&W roll he developed with me looking over his shoulder. The temperature rose for a few seconds.....

I just processed a roll of FP4 120 that I exposed with the Voigtländer Perkeo II. It is still magic to see the developed negatives emerge from the processing tank, almost as much as it was way back when I was a child and processed my first roll of film. I envy the surprise and delight of a young person discovering this magic for the first time.

I dunno, David ... I kinda like the rough grain in that portrait. 😀
I looked through Jacob's website. He's posting some excellent photos there: Bravo!
Photos are all magic to me, regardless of how I make them. But there is something tactile and delightful about watching an image emerge in a film negative or in a wet print. (And I spend hours just enjoying watching Polaroid integral film images emerge into being too ... I just shot a pack of 600B&W in my SLR670x today, and I remain so thankful that the crazy people at The Impossible Project resurrected that instant film from the grave. 😀

There are a few threads on RFF where I've posted Polaroid photos. Here's a Flickr album of some of mine from this year:

I've got a metric tonne of photos I haven't posted yet too. 😀 I believe this one was made in June with the Polaroid SLR670x by MiNT on SX-70 B&W film:
enjoy, G
