Film Photography has a Sustainability Problem ... Eileen from the Sustainable Darkroom
Show Notes

This is a long overdue episode where we look at the challenges and problems facing film photography from a sustainability point of view. From the plastic, to the developers, to the waste, there are many layers to this problem. This conversation features Eileen White, from the Sustainable Darkroom. She and I discussed:

  • 'fixer' is a big problem
  • plant based developers
  • growing ingredients in your home garden
  • the "terroir" and seasonality of her rosemary developer
  • practical actions that each one us can do
