Take it away, Patrick.

All right, so I've been accused before not necessarily on this podcast but my friends of being eccentric okay so to

continue my trend of eccentricity and on the podcast you're eccentric oh man

I've been accused no I've been accused all, so my newest eccentric hobby is taking film pictures and developing them myself.

That's pretty nuts.

I guess film is kind of considered by many people to be dead and long with the digital camera.

And I do have a digital camera.

I have a nice digital camera, an SLR, and I take pictures, and I enjoy it.

And so when you're at that age and you're not into photography, like I'd sure I'd taken some

pictures with the 35 millimeter camera or whatever and then just send them off to the lab and they come back and I always just thought this idea of like people having this dark room in their house like oh this is like really intriguing and like I would love to do that because it's basically chemistry so so let me get sure so you have a room that's completely pitch black kind of like a prison cell or something and then so you would think because that's always the image I had in my head. Yeah. But no, that's not the way it works. Or at least you don't have to. So I came up with this process on my own, and then it turns out it actually has a name. It's called the hybrid process. Oh, okay. So the way this works is I, so I got a really cheap plastic film camera, but it doesn't shoot 35 millimeter film.

It shoots what's called medium format film, which is five times bigger than a 35 millimeter
