Homemade Camera Podcast

E76 Old Timey Podcast

Ethan is away making magic in New York City so Nick and Graham go old school with a chatty old-timey podcast. They talk about what they've been doing since the last show, Graham's new Franken Holga 3D Stereo abomination to make pictures no one can figure out, the arrival of Nick's Lomograflok back for Instax Wide, Nick's appearance on Cameraocity (Cocaine and Waffles), and what a sustainable analog future might look like. 

Thanks to Robbie Cribbs of Sound Trap Studios (https://soundtrapstudios.com/Sound_trap_studios/Home.html) for letting us use the music.

E74 Joe Van Cleave

In this episode, we welcome in the wonderfully off-kilter mind of Joe Van Cleave. He talks about a bunch of wonderful stuff and he and Ethan demo the self-developing 20X24 Super Behemoth*. 

*Not it's official name. 

E73 Reimagining the Holga

Graham received a message on Etsy from ArlenB asking if it's possible to recreate the Holga with a few twists.

"Out of curiosity, is there anything preventing you from making the plans to print a regular Holga 120GCFN, with an interchangeable lens, zone focusing, and no light leaks, or is that too difficult?"

This episode is a discussion about a potential Holga replacement. 

E72 Ethan's Self-Developing Mystery Show

E70 Jason Lane and Chromatic Abberation

I'm not sure we actually talk much about chromatic aberration, it just sounded smart as a title.

E68 Erik Mathy makes Homemade Lenses

About 40 minutes in we experience some audio issues and the quality degrades and suddenly Graham is replaced with Wallace Shawn (thanks, Ethan). Sorry about that. 

There are quite a few swears in this episode. 

We welcome Erik Mathy (IG: erikhmathy) to talk about homemade lenses, how he got from the Land of Cheese to the Land of Fog, why you should match your lens to the subject you shoot, and many other things.
