Laura Yurs

I’m a woman, mother, wife, friend and photographer using my camera as a force for good.  I believe a camera can change the way you see the world.  I believe laughter and hugs and coffee and film are essentials in life.  I believe you should let your life speak and that you should listen, even when it’s not what you want to hear.  I believe in the power of kind words…and that a smile is a gift.  I believe in the underdog and that there’s a huge difference between “impossible” and “improbable”.  I believe in laughter.  I believe in swearing.  I believe in buying a round for your friends.  I believe in turning the music up REALLY loud….and dancing.  I carry a camera everywhere and document what I see.  My lens carries me through.  I’m married to a man who still makes my heart skip a beat when he walks through the door.  Together we’re trying really hard not to screw up our two children.

Michael Fauscette

I have been involved in music, art and photography since I was very young. I grew up shooting film in several formats and across a wide range of subjects. After venturing into digital land for a while, I realized that I was spending a lot of time and money trying to make the digital images look like film. Also I found that I craved the slower, purposeful creative process of film. I started experimenting with film again and eventually came back to my analog roots. Film photography is my therapy for an over active, over connected and hectic world. My interests are diverse but I tend to shoot travel, documentary / street, and fine art, mostly in black and white. You will find me out and about with my Leica’s and my medium format cameras or maybe even an old MF folder from the 1940’s and 50’s. 

You can see more of Michael’s work on his photography blog and on Instagram.

Tom Evans

I'm a video editor and motion graphics designer currently based in Pembrokeshire, Wales. I  really enjoy trail and fell running, Andrei Tarkovsky films and Spaghetti Westerns, existential philosophy, banana milkshakes and playing the harmonica. I'm a bit of a niche guy. I'm in my element when walking through the woods all day by myself. I enjoy the chance elements of destroying and degrading film, but I try avoid the lomo craze that comes with it.

Barbara Murray

I live in Cardiff by the Sea, California. My dad taught me to use a film camera when I was in high school. I lost interest in photography when I moved away from home and couldn’t use his nice cameras any more. Digital photography left me cold, except for family photos. A few years ago I took up printmaking (old school style, lithography and intaglio). Someone suggested I try a darkroom photography class and I fell in love again. I find a lot of crossover in the way I see and create images in the two media. I own about 10 cameras but only regularly use a few. I like to shoot scenery and environments, especially when I travel. Occasionally I do some street style photography. I love experimenting with different films, cross processing, film souping, the crazier the better! I am very happy to have found this great community of like minded people.

Herb Kateley

I've enjoyed photography all my life, but only in the last few years have I taken the time and made the investment in developing (no pun intended) it as a pursuit and vocation. This started when I moved to an area small in population, a prairie town surrounded by large amounts of rangeland, some forests, and with amazing history. I had some time and it was an opportune moment to work on something that I had been interested in doing for a long time. I've returned home to the west coast now and am continuing that work, having left a bit of my heart there.

I shoot both film and digital and am using 'more vintage' film cameras lately. All images here are my film work and have received little or no digital post processing.

Tristan Aitchison

Welcome and Bienvenue to Blanche’s Nickelodeon, the creative home of me – Tristan MG Aitchison. I’m an eternal student of Storytelling at the University of Spinning Yarns (formerly Telling Tales Polytechnic). I write. I make films. I take photos. I’ve lived and worked in no fewer than five countries: volunteered in Romanian orphanages, danced to Atomic Kitten on the Mongolian Steppes, been shot at in Siberia, arrested in Georgia and eaten dog twice in Korea. I’ve been around the world and I, I, I (Stansfield, 1989, TOTP) have returned to the best natural studio in the world, the Highlands of Scotland. I’m based on The Black Isle, near Inverness. Let yourself in, put on your slippers and make yourself at home. Leave the key under the mat when you're done.

Katherine Mollon

When Katie completed her BA in 2006, she wondered if her film and darkroom knowledge would be wasted in a newly digital world.  After moving to West to Seattle, she found herself in a lab processing C-41 and scanning film for a living.  It was there that she re-discovered her love for creating multi-layered Holga images.  These surreal landscapes portray how her subconscious reassembles life in the form of dreams.

Katie is currently working to revive the art of film photography in the suburbs of Detroit. See more of her photography on her website.

Deborah Candeub

After spending a few years teaching myself how to shoot and process digital images to look like film, I had an "a ha" moment at the end of 2011. Why not just shoot film? 

I'm always on the hunt for the beautiful and curious with a camera in hand.
