DRUM ROLL PLEASE

This is a GREAT episode to go and watch on our YouTube channel, so you can actually see the pictures we're talking about! - https://youtu.be/JM-FAEyyL6k

Last week we went to Milton Keynes and shot a couple of rolls of Cinestill BWXX on the Mamiya RB67 and Canon P.

The 35mm version has been out a few years but we never got round to shooting it, so figured with the recent release of BWXX on 120, it was a good time to go out and shoot them both.

We swapped cameras so both shot half a roll of each, but in the actual video (coming this Sunday) we don't really get round to talking about the results. So, this is us, doing that!

Stay tuned for the Cinestill BWXX photowalk video coming this Sunday.

Check out our last photowalk video, on the streets on Northampton at night. - https://youtu.be/2SjmtOgyJag

A couple of weeks ago we read an article that we didn't exactly agree with, and thought was worth talking about on here. Check out the article in question below, listen to us ramble along with minimal coherence and let us know your thoughts!

We were honoured to speak to Paul McKay, owner of Analogue Wonderland (along with his mum, Mary), and guru of all things film related!

We spoke about how Analogue Wonderland got started, Paul unmasks himself as Fall Out Boy fan, and keeps your eyes (and ears) peeled for a surprise guest appearance from Jamie's dog, Thrasher.

Part 2 of our chat with Josh Astrop.

We talk about Northampton, how FRONT is a great idea, Jamie regales us with one of his classic anecdotes, and stay tuned til the end for an insight into passive aggressive family life with Luke.

This week's episode was recorded waaaay back in March, so all our references are probably out of date. At one point we mention At The Drive-In, so when I say March, I must mean in 2001.

We spoke to Josh Astrop, a photographer who shoots exclusively on an iPhone. His photos are awesome, and we wanted to get some insight into why he chose the phone as his primary tool and how he uses it.

Josh (who doesn't consider himself a photographer) has a photography exhibition coming in July at the Marefair Gallery, Northampton, so do make sure you check that out.

Again, we're doing this one in 2 parts because we want to keep the episodes under an hour in length. Not sure why.

Jamie went on a photo walk and filmed it, so we thought we'd stick it on here! Let us know what you think, as we'd like to make more, longer ones of these, where we talk to the camera and everything.

We chat a little bit about FRONT, just explaining what it is for anyone who hasn't seen episode 1 - rewatch it here: https://youtu.be/oVXAvdSKZkY

We also announce the winner of our most recent Instagram competition! Watch the video to find out who won, and follow us on Insta to make sure you catch our next competition, and send us some lovely messages too!

A couple of weeks ago we put a shout out on Instagram to see if anyone want to ask us anything, whether it be photography related or not and you replied in your... well dozens at least!

We figured we'd spend about 5 minutes answering each one, keep the podcast to a tight 20 minutes, so obviously here's an hour of us rambling on about photography, music, skateboarding, and some other stuff too.

This one ends a bit abruptly, as we forgot to record an outro! We are nothing if not professional.

We were very excited to talk to photographer and YouTuber extraordinaire, Madison Beach, about getting started in photography, building a YouTube channel, and taking her mum on photo walks.

Madison has built up an amazing channel, after discovering YouTube just a few years ago (!), so don't let anyone tell you it's too late to start a channel.

We're really happy to say that Madison is a FRONT ambassador. Make sure you check out her YouTube channel, follow her on Instagram and all that stuff.
