One of my portraits from our time in Savannah

Holy Cow it’s been a year with this beast of a machine. Who knew you could live from a photo darkroom on wheels with a camper, a sweetie and 2 dogs. 🥰😍

To be on this list with my image of Shauna is incredible. And to have processed and produced that work from the @nomadicphotoark is even more insane to my little overly emotional brain.

The ARK will be hanging out on the outer banks of north Carolina from April 20th and the 25th. DM us if you're in the area and want to come check out the ARK and talk shop.

@ZDP189 Looks like it will do the job perfectly!

Just bought a new tripod for $25 at Sunrise. I asked "Why so cheap?" The answer:"傻佬先買!" (Only an idiot would buy it). Well, it's mine now!

I got to see some beautiful silver prints at the Bruce Davidson exhibit at the Jepson Arts Center in Savannah. Trust me when I say this prints sparkled! :) (my photos of them do not)

@ClydeButcher Still using a darkroom today (in fact I built a mobile one so I would never be without @nomadicphotoark )- would love to truly get into digital printing - but have never learned it’s charm - The Darkroom never stops teaching me about light. That’s why I can’t live without it.

I'm curious - how many of my followers have ever worked in a darkroom? If you do digital printing today, what do you miss most about the wet darkroom?

We missed last week's #fridayfavourites with @ILFORDPhoto Because, well, we were in the #darkroom getting prints ready for a show. Everything was printed in our mobile darkroom on #ilfordphoto glossy FB paper. #madeinthedark #believeinfilm #nomadicphotoark

I was not excited by this negative. But I feel excited by this print. Unsure why. There’s just something about those dappled backgrounds sometimes. • #darkroomfeels #portraits #largeformat #comtactprints #blackandwhitefilm #8x10film #shootfilmbenice

Our bathroom at the Airbnb right now. Print print print. #nomadicphotoark #believeinfilm #shootfilmbenice

This is Feifei with her daughter Willow in Savannah. One of my favorites from the last couple weeks. @nomadicphotoark and I have been finishing up our residency. Where do we go next? #portraitphotography #largeformatphotography #8x10film #shootfilmbenice

It’s been a good day in the @nomadicphotoark today. I’m still so chuffed that I have this portable darkroom. May be a little messy - but it’s my mess! #darkroomphotography #shootfilmbenice

Savannah was the first place where we really got to use the new darkcloth from @ZDP189 and we love it. Here's a little compilation of @monicafrisell her 8x10 and the cloth. Thanks so much.

We finished editing our first interview from Savannah. The full version will be up on our website in a few weeks. Patreon supporters can listen to it now! All the info in our bio. #nomadicphotoark #portrait #travel #storytelling #oralhistory

Thanks for having us on!

We made this store for little things coming out of the Ark. We have used other platforms before - but needed something a little more streamlined. Check it out! @nomadicphotoark #etsyshop #artforsale #buyrealart #supportthearts #buyphysicalart etsy.com/shop/NomadicPh…

We have a Patreon - all supporters are helping this project grow - I put a long overdue update on their yesterday - more to come. Less curated. More experimental.
