Bringing It All Back Home

Episode 36 of Bringing It All Back Home begins with the joys of home printing & continues with the sorrow of an anniversary of unanswered tragedy in Margate City, NJ. Your host, Charles, revisits a date from 51 years ago when a small New Jersey shore town was wracked by a murder-suicide that never was explained, or resolved, let alone even talked about. In Memory of Arthur Bert Mayer.

Bringing It All Back Home returns for Episode 35 - and it’s A Return To The Darkroom. This episode explores how it all began, the gear involved, and putting off, for years, actually putting it all together. Now that the virus lockdown is extending the StayHome Lockdown - for at least another month - your host, Charles, dives into what will be needed to make the Darkroom process continue. Gear includes the Schneider 80mm f/4 Componon-S Enlarging Lens, the Beseler 23CII-XL Dichro Enlarger, as well as 8 x 10" Ilford MULTIGRADE RC Deluxe Pearl paper.

Bringing It All Back Home returns for episode 33 with another Analog Combo and it starts - you guessed it - with the Classic sweetness that is a 1951 Rolleiflex Automat Model 4 TLR, combined with one of the best black & white films made by Ilford today, Delta 100 Pro. Souped up in the developer that just keeps giving - what else? - HC-110. Join in and check out the *extra fun. Bonus South Jersey pronunciations included.

Bringing It All Back Home returns for Episode 31 — a look back on the classic 70s SLR system known as OM. Your host, Charles, explores how he got started with his back in 2005, the brassed-up pawn-shop OM-1, and his years relearning photography with the manual focus Zuiko 50mm 1.4 lens ... And why the OM system might still fall short compared to a Barnack Leica. Check it out!
