Happy new year ya’ll!

Here’s a quick recap of Photo Spectrum’s first running year

• Processed >1000 rolls of film

• Discovered a truck load of issues with machinery/equipment/chemicals

• Met a lot of amazing photographers and awesome people

• (Barely) Broke even on my variable costs

• Am confirmed an anti social gremlin that likes being in the dark for hours at a time

• Deeply grateful for all supporters and patrons

• Rocking in to 2025 with a positive attitude

Thank you, truly, to everyone who has shown your support this past year. Photo Spectrum can’t exist without you, the film community. I’ll strive to maintain my best, offering an avenue for the amazing creatives that you are.

Looking forward to see you in 2025 :)

As always, keep shooting film!

Happy new year ya’ll :)

Well, I’ve been doing this for almost a year now, and somehow its still running. So I guess… To another year of Photo Spectrum? Yay!

Truly, thank you, to all my patrons and your continued support over the last 12 months. Without each and every individual piece of your contribution and presence, this silly little dream of mine would’ve ended all too soon. Despite all the troubles and hardships faced in the process, because of ya’ll, I can, with the utmost confidence say that:

“All of this? It’s absofuckinglutely worth it. Every single bit of it.”

Moving on… I strive to be transparent and here are some stats for those who care. In the last 12 months Photo Spectrum has:

• Developed & Scanned 1209 rolls of film

  ~62% of orders wanted contact sheets

• Hosted 19 RA-4 workshops

• Made 68 (So close…) prints for customers

• Rented out the darkroom for 81 hours (Considering rental began only in November)

• Repaired the enlarger 3 times

• Repaired the film processing machine 6 times

With that and a little bit of math you can sort of guess how photo spectrum is faring.

That’s it for now :) Hope ya’ll have a blast in 2025! And of course, keep shooting film!
