A thread for all sorts of picture making.

Be it digital or analogue, phone or wooden box with a hole, lets talk about it!

Include your pictures in your posts, ask questions, or just tell us what you enjoy about the hobby of capturing the light :)

So I was poking around in my darkroom for the first time in over a year when I came across this old print. What's funny is that while I don't remember it, the fact that it was tossed aside means that at the time I intended to throw it away. Now, I kind of like it though. It's funny how we change isn't it?

Oh yeah I dig that print! It is always funny what photos you make and don't feel too strongly about, but then end up resonating a lot with others. When I started I'd get prints of all the photos on a roll, and it was always surprising what random prints I didn't want that others fought over.

As for some of my own work, in January, I was inspired by a friend to put together a year-end favorites page: https://skalnik.com/2025/ The order shuffles on load, but if you pause on an image the URL is sharable for that image

damn yall are good photographers. i have my bad pictures up on my website.

I'd argue more a persistent than specifically good. That 2025 retrospective is about ~100 film photos. I shot over 2500 total on film last year, which means just 4% of my photos were something I enjoyed enough to throw on that site. Hit rate is even lower on digital where I shoot so much more indiscriminately!


BUT Unrelated to this, I threw some postcard prints in the mail this weekend and thought, hey maybe sickos would be into a print exchange. Just a small sign up of sending someone else a print of your choosing, low stakes, no specific requirements. Could be fun!

I would LOVE a print swap! That would seriously motivate me to finally get my darkroom cleaned up and operational again <3

Should we make a dedicated thread for a print swap?

This sounds fun! and yes mayhap. And probably a non-public place to swap addresses

I'm returning to life out on the road this coming week and will be taking lots of pictures of nature and landscapes. I've done this before and I have a bunch of photos posted to my website already. You can check them out, and I will share some of my highlights of upcoming places with this thread later.
