Stuff to Listen to…
This newsletter February, which was fairly quiet on all fronts, no podcast because of some computer issues, Rob and Amanda have been living out the January Blues in Berlin, and Paul has been flying and travelling all over europe.
Paul and Connor, long-time supporters of the SSS community, delved into the fascinating realm of film photography during their discussion. In the first part last month, they explored the origins of their passion for this art form and enthusiastically delved into all things camera-related. This month's special was much the same, they discussed all about cameras, different formats, pricing, and what cameras they have had along their film journey.
If you're a fellow camera nerd, this podcast is an absolute must-listen. So grab your favorite film camera, tune in, and join the conversation!
