Blue Moon Camera and Machine New film in stock: Rollei Digibase CR200 in both 35mm and 120. Claimed to be many things, including: sharp, saturated and archival. We are more interested in cross-processing it. For those who remember, and are fond of, the Agfa RSX films and how well they cross-processed, this film produces very similar results.

LightBox Photographic is excited to announce they will be opening on
June 13, 2009. Located in the restored Occidental building at 1045
Marine Drive in Astoria, LightBox Photographic is a gallery and
photographic center featuring traditional B&W and color darkrooms as
well as film processing and custom printing services. ... Their goal is
to promote art and photography along the north coast. The grand
opening will feature three photographic artists from the Portland
area: Zeb Andrews, Heidi Kirkpatrick and Gary Wilson. Methods ranging
from pinhole photography, macro work, alternative processes and
digital infrared images will be displayed.
Zeb Andrews will be showing a combination of both his pinhole and
floralscape work. Zeb has been enjoying using both techniques to
present amazing new perspectives of the world around us for several
years. He is an outspoken advocate for the simplicity of the pinhole
camera to any who care to listen. He can be regularly found fielding
questions at Blue Moon Camera in North Portland and teaching classes
at Newspace Center for Photography, that is when he is not out in the
pursuit of new images.
Heidi L. Kirkpatrick, an established fine art photographer, based in
Portland Oregon has exhibited widely over the last ten years.
Kirkpatrick’s work is included in collections at The Museum of Fine
Arts, Houston, Texas, Springfield Museum of Art, Ohio and The OHSU
Corporate Collection. Kirkpatrick’s work often depicts a view of the
world experienced by women. Kirkpatrick develops her own images,
including silver gelatin printing, alternative processes, photographs
using a Holga toy camera, transparent images on film and 3-D mixed
media objects. In addition to being an experienced mid-career artist,
Kirkpatrick joined The Northwest Academy, in 2004, to teach
photography at the high school level. Kirkpatrick is currently
represented locally by the Alysia Duckler Gallery and G. Gibson
Gallery in Seattle, Washington.
Gary Wilson has over 25 years of experience in commercial and fine art
photography while working principally as an architectural
photographer. “in my fine art work, an area of personal fascination
for me is infrared photography. Having worked a number of years
utilizing infrared film, I’ve since had a number of digital cameras
converted to record infrared light. "The effect is dreamlike and
emotionally provocative.” Gary has worked with some of the
Northwest’s most recognized architecture and design firms. He received
his BFA in painting from PSU with post graduate classes at the
Portland Art Museum School. Gary's work has been published in
Architectural Digest and Architectural Record and nearly every local
magazine. His work is included in the Visual Chronicles of Portland,
The Portland Art Museum and in many private collections.

We are excited to announce that we are now carrying the new Kodak Ektar 100 in both 35mm and 120. According to Kodak, this film not only features the finest grain available in color films, but also vivid color saturation.
Here is what we think:
In terms of the grain, this film is without a doubt incredibly fine grained.... One of our customers even spliced some Ektar 100 into a Minox cassette and shot it through his Minox camera. The prints were the finest grained Minox prints we have ever seen, even at such extreme magnifications as enlarging from Minox negatives requires.
The color saturation is indeed rich, but it is also has a distinct feel to it. The film definitely reproduces colors differently from other Kodak films, such as the Portra 160VC and the Ultra Color. It seems to do a wonderful job balancing richness without garishness. If you want to really have a bit of fun, try push-processing a roll of this stuff one or two stops.
We hope to see your charming face in our shop soon.

This trip is an architectural photography adventure with bridge photographer extraordinaire, Zeb Andrews. On this trip, you'll photograph the St. John's and Steel bridges as the late afternoon shifts through sunset to twilight.
Zeb will show you how he creates wonderfully expressive, unique images using wacky techniques... and unusual tools. You'll begin the day with an overview of technique and then head up to Cathedral park and the St. John's Bridge. One of the city's most stunning architectural icons, the St. John's Bridge is a study in dramatic shapes and patterns. From there, you'll head over to the Steel Bridge for an investigation of its dynamic, imposing structure.
With Zeb's guidance, you'll learn to turn a creative eye on these iconic Portland bridges as you refine your technical skills.Read More
