Can't Stop Shooting on Film on Vimeo

[Indofunk]

I love that the photographer is Indian (I'd say Malayali based on his name and accent). My aunt is a professional studio photographer in India (Chennai), but she's switched to d*****l. "Not that there's anything wrong with that"

great short film  The other day I was walking trough a neighbouring city called Middelburg and in an empty store there was a temporarily photostudio there was a sign out side which said come in, So I did just that. In side they were working with a cambo technical camera and had a chat with the good people around and after a bit we were talking analogue, the photographer said: being able to shoot analogue makes you a two-legged-soccer player. Normally you pass with your right but when you need to make a goal you can do it with your left as well.
A nice metaphor....

Nice

Thanks for sharing this.  It's a beautiful little film.  I understand about the three-minute limit but it might have been nice to have a little more of the three minutes spent on the work of their community darkroom and less on the justification of film photography.

Maybe it's worth suggesting them...

Goa, of course

Something special about this city?

[Indofunk]

No, his name. Very Goan (ex-Portuguese colony). I should've known that.

Also, yes, there is something special about that city, it's pretty much an international beach party city, like Ibiza. Lots of foreigners (mostly European) and I'd assume a lot of them are hipster/Lomo-type people.

Goa, of course 

Hippies  :groz:

I must admit that I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this part of the world...

For me, India pretty much just equals Mother Theresa, insane traffic and spicy food

Goa is a stunning "state" in the south west of India. It's small - but it's not a "city".

Lara and I had a fantastic time there a few years ago. It's most definitely "Indian" now but has had long periods of being under Portuguese and British colonial rule.  Panaji (referred to as Panjim) is the state capital but most tourists tend to head for Calangute, Candolim or Baga in the north or Palolem in the south.  Palolem is where the hippies tend to congregate, still.

They drive on the left (i.e. correct) side of the road. Or where there's a gap. Or where there isn't a cow. I kid thee not.    Unlike most of India, which tends to revere cows as sacred, you can get a very good steak in a lot of the restaurants as well as a supreme "fish curry and rice".

Great place and superb people. Highly recommended (between November and March) unless you have webbed feet....
