Theme: Film Swap
Hosted by Anita Gay
Sign up here to participate!
What’s a film swap, you ask? Well, first of all, it’s a lot of fun. You shoot a roll of film (or some sheets of 4x5 if you’re Vince) then swap with a partner who shoots over the same roll or sheets. Get them developed and scanned before June 4th, pick a few favorites, then log onto Zoom at 7pm, and share your magic results with the rest of us!
