USING TRASH OFF THE STREETS TO MAKE ART ON THE STREETS. I use only trash and found items to make these one-of-a-kind, hand cut and paste, signed & numbered artworks. I use trashy paperback book covers, record & magazine covers, CDs, posters, postcards and other mass-produced media as a base for my hand-cut & paste collages, which I usually leave out on the streets for anyone to enjoy (or destroy.)

Shooting with Eastman Super-XX Nitrate film from the 1940s! Developing with Instant Coffee!

See this & more Rare films at Labeauratoire. Here is another rare vintage find. This is some of the oldest film I have ever shot with. I took a chance on some old dingy cans of film and was surprised when the film inside looked like new! Nitrate film was what most of the silent movies were shot on up until the 1940s when "Safety Film" was introduced. Safety film was much less flammable but many say it never gave quite the same look as the old nitrate films. So here's your chance to shoot on this classic emulsion.

Originally the film speed was around ISO 200 but after more than 60 years in storage it has lost alot and gained quite a significant amount of base fog. I had success shooting it at ISO speeds between 3 and 12 depending on processing. I saw varying results with different developers. I had success so far with Caffenol, Rodinal 1+100 and HC-110 (B) - but I'll be trying out other developers soon. For safety purposes, do not store this film (even after developed) at tempratures above 85°f. and do not keep negatives under an enlarger lamp for extended periods of time.

It's like Kodalith & Scala had a baby and they called it BLACKOUT!!

BLACKOUT Film is here!

Exclusively at Labeauratoire. Try this High Contrast Black & White Transparency Film.

This is one of the most unique films I have come across. It is a vintage, expired film which provides exquisite, ultra-high contrast black and white transparencies using normal B&W developers. (And amazing Sepia Slides from Caffenol!)  Unlike some other B&W slide film, Blackout works well with most developers and gives some of the deepest, darkest blacks I have ever encountered in a film, yet still manages to retain much of the detail in the upper-middle highlight range as you can see from this example.
