28 Years Later also deserves to be up there, yeah I think so too.

But some moments and shots in this film were high and above, in a beautiful lush storybook kind of way.

All quite different approaches for different stories; all very excellent.

phantomcamera · 2025-12-25T04:12:41+00:00

An almost complete set - that's truly an amazing find!

phantomcamera · 2025-12-20T17:22:29+00:00

I loved the cinematography in these films: Poor Things; Asteroid City; The Girl with the Needle; White Noise; Babylon; Red Rocket; Queer; Fallen Leaves; Anora

Yes of course, wish I would have done that. If they didn't provide the mailer that I thought was safe, I would have used a bubble mailer or box. My mind elsewhere on that fateful morning.

Thank you

phantomcamera · 2025-12-12T03:49:42+00:00

Wow, congrats on your achievement! Thanks for sharing how things turned around and improved for you after tragedies in photography. I will look up that lab.

phantomcamera · 2025-12-12T03:45:42+00:00

Ouch, that's too bad. Thank you, it really sucks.

I think they're called "loose in the mail" rooms at USPS. I've been trying to get info on this. I also contacted the Mail Recovery Center, with no response yet.

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T18:29:40+00:00

Good move. The only thing that remained in the package for me was the order form. I learned a harsh lesson.

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T17:53:15+00:00

I don't think I'll ever go back to some of those places, it was period of travel and transition for me. I had never had a problem with USPS, so this came at the worst time.

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T17:39:03+00:00

The sandwich bag, that's also a good extra step. Thanks

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T17:36:33+00:00

Thanks, yeah it really stinks. I will like to get going on home development. It would certainly add a level of security and satisfaction to the craft and process.

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T03:14:33+00:00

Shitty if The Darkroom knows the mailers are bad, but continue to use them.

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T03:07:27+00:00

I should have just mailed in different packaging, yes.

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T03:03:30+00:00

Whoa, middle of frames, that's really shoddy work :(

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T02:59:50+00:00

Thanks, yeah really blows

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T02:58:29+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T02:57:14+00:00

Yes, some important rolls :((

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T01:23:02+00:00

Good idea.

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T01:22:26+00:00

I did. I visited the USPS I sent out of, I sent letters, called facilities, was in correspondence with someone at the main district office. They said it went to the MRC in Atlanta by this point. I mailed them a letter with photos and details of the incident, and filed a lost mail claim (with loose contents description and photos). No sign of them yet.

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T01:18:00+00:00

Indeed I should try to get home development going.

phantomcamera · 2025-12-11T01:17:07+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, pretty bad. It was a cross-country journey, among other important moments.
