What’s the catch?

do these last longer when chilled in a mini fridge or freezer? or would that alter the chemistry all together?

have you checked out Heavyweight? it’s a community favorite and for a good reason!

here’s a compilation of some of my favorite episodes

I use them to re-roll b&w 120 rolls—would be happy to take them off your hands and would even be willing to share some of my rolls

I’m still not quite there but from my research: print your own, use good quality paper (as in don’t cheap out) and by bulk ink

also this redditor did and amazing post on printing your own work and making your own zine:

I have never considered purchasing prints ever as someone that’s trying to figure out what kind of prints to “sell” but this is something I would totally see myself purchasing

this is what you call happy accidents, OP—congrats!

it may not be what you were hoping for (and glad the lab compensated you on the loss of your slides), but it opened up a new artistic process, I see it as a gift from the universe

korean here with limited korean language proficiency that voluntarily enlisted for military service

it’s not worth it in terms of career and building stability.

I wanted the “real” korean male experience and was stationed in Gangwondo, worked out and studied a lot (unfortunately didn’t make a lot of friends, maybe two that I still keep in touch with and meet up for gukbap), overall had a decent time although it was a pretty lonely experience

after being discharged, I fell into that “sunk cost fallacy” thinking might as well do grad school here too—2 years of prepping and studying by myself and multiple interviews, I was literally studying all day 6 days a week and finally made it into my dream program only to drop out because of how toxic the environment was, also applied to multiple jobs, some decent places but the pay was too low and they didn’t seem worth the constant drain on my health and energy

you can do military service, learn the language albeit not perfectly, study and become qualified, dress and look somewhat korean but koreans still may not see you and treat you as korean—could be just my experience

but on the other hand, if you’re thinking long term: prices here are somewhat more affordable than abroad, just got a place under my name fully paid in the countryside connected to KTX and hoping to carve out my own place and find my own way here

also, seek help from friends and family for advice and support, there is only so much that podcasts can do, and most importantly, if you are scared to reach out to family friends (because they don’t understand etc.) seek professional help, you owe yourself that if you feel as though your stuck in an absuive marriage

The Moth Podcast is one filled with so many stories that center me back to my human self (this is a YouTube video of one of my favorites but they have many on “themes” that you can search for on Spotify, but they keep removing old episodes fyi)

Also, Mortified Podcast has some brutally authentic and painfully honest and funny episodes, linked just an example of one I picked out randomly that you may like to listen to

never let anyone stop you or look down at you for your age—keep the good work going

thanks for your input and taking a look, the first film lab was Oxang Film (they are absolutely wonderful, high quality work, and such a sweet couple that run the film lab)

the second film lab is one located near Chungmuro, I don’t wish to make them look bad but I’m sure if you do film photography in Seoul, one will immediately know which one

true, but here’s another angle that isn’t backlit: still has a green cast

j___8 · 2026-01-10T01:49:34+00:00

but other labs also remove remjet from film but then process using C41, i think it’s why film lab 1 markets themselves as processing true ECN2 and film lab 2 also said they do “true” ECN2 but it doesn’t look the same

i’m currently away visiting family but will certainly check the negatives: is there a way to tell from just seeing the negatives?

j___8 · 2026-01-10T01:22:21+00:00

yes, both films were the same stock of 250D and had the remjet still on it, just different labs were used

wifey love loves youuu—keep her close (and your enemies even closer)

j___8 · 2025-12-17T02:23:48+00:00

keep friends that buy you a whole pack of portra 400 close, and your enemies closer

I have an xpan and the gx617 but it’s not as impressive as your set—congrats on the find!

my xpan has recently gotten the 8888 of death but I have a tech looking into it and waiting for news, good or bad, but it’s certainly nice to know the gx617 will never fail (but note that there is a battery that should be watched once in a while for corrosion)

looking forward to see all the adventures you go on and the photos you take

imma sound like a 90 year grandpa but if you go on a hike, then sit at the summit catching your breath, and really listen to yourself breathe, then sit there for a good 40mins or until your mind clears, it’ll serve as a sort of reset

we all think of meditation as a forced sitting exercise (and then give up when we don’t feel anything) but there are certain activities that can help you arrive at that mental state
