Wonderful piece of work !
It is amazing to learn that you are using Era Film, is that made in Shanghai !?

Yes, this film from Shanghai. It's the cheapest way fro me to shoot 8x10.

Yeah, use every trick; bribe em with treats, threaten to throw a pie at them, anything...it's not easy with kids and wetplate.

Maddie wasn't very still today. Shot a couple sheets of 5x7 and neither is what I'd call stellar, but I put them together for Momma. Soft or no, they show the instantaneous mood swings of an almost-7-year-old girl pretty well...

shot & developed my first transparencies, nothing more than testing... but this ektachrome seems just the right thing for a more serious portrait project that i have had in my mind for some time now.

This was my first time ever shooting transparencies, and staring out large was nice...
