(no subject)
I'm visiting my parents for the week and my Dad, attempting to offload some of his old things he doesn't use, offered me his old SLR camera as he switched to digital - smaller and cheaper. Knowing that there are little or no vegan alternatives for film I said I would gladly accept it only if he had no one else in mind to give it to. I would much rather hold on to it for sentimental reasons than have him throw it out or sell it for close to nothing, even if it never gets used by me.
So, I went googling for any updates on the vegan film dilemma to see what I could come up with. A page at photogeek.net seemed to sum it up quite well:
"Here's a reply i wrote to some one a while back - no film is vegan . . . If you're just doing it for fun go digital."
I guess the purpose of this entry is to see if anyone from this community of over two and a half thousand people has heard anything about where technology is heading with regard to vegan film production, or, better yet, have actually seen or used vegan film techniques and could give a brief review of how it worked for them.
I do a lot of photography with my Canon IXUS65 camera and I'd be happy using digital for the rest of my life. But there's just something about the warmth a real SLR can capture that I'd love to incorporate into my work in the future.
EDIT: I have posted a reply I received from ILFORD in another entry. It can be read here.
