Favorite film stock?
I’m a Fuji Superia guy. Shot Fuji Superia 200 for years but can’t find it anymore (discontinued?). What about you guys?

New to this realm, and I've been on a run of B&Ws lately, so I've been using HP5

@Johnny Tang A lot of facts in this paragraph! When I get some more space I eventually want to get into developing. I started on color with digital and film, but I think I hit a wall where I wasn't taking composed shots and just simply taking snap shots. So going back to b&w has definitely helped me learn a lot about my journey.
Archiving
How do you guys back up your work? Most photographers I talk to say best practice is 3x copies, with one of them offsite (like in cloud storage). I have like 2.5 sitting on my desk 😅

I need to do more, but right now, just one file backed up at the moment. Other than what may be in Lightroom at the time.
Getting Started
Excited to see everyone joining! This group right now is compiled pretty much entirely from people I’ve spoken to or worked with. I’m working on recording the tutorials for the beginner classes this week. But I’d be the first to tell ya, I’m far from the most knowledgeable photog here. That said, I think we all have differing skill sets. Together, I believe we can make each other better, richer, photographers and creators. Tell us about a personal project you’re working on now? Where are you struggling? Where do you want your work to be seen or published?

Currently trying to capture 100 random portraits. Doing so to help me get more comfortable with directing or talking to people, which is something that I struggle with. I would love to produce a phonebook or wind up in a gallery sooner or later, but right now I just want to get better lol

@Johnny Tang Right now I am on number 16! Definitely a long way to go and you're right that makes a lot of sense, in a lot of ways!
Inspirations
Introduce yourself folks! Who’s a photographer you admire and why? I’ll start: Robert and Shana Parkeharrison. Their body of work “the Architect’s Brother” is why I wear a suit in my photos. https://www.parkeharrison.com/bodies-of-work

Hi, Im Marc. Relatively new at learning photography, although I've always taken photos lol. Hmmm a photographer that I admire, there are so many but recently found out about William Albert Allard, particularly "The Photographic Essay" which has some pretty cool stories etc.
Residencies
Are ya’ll interested in residencies? I’ve just been accepted into a residency for next spring in Finland. I was thinking of adding a class covering my workflow for how I apply to these kinds of opportunities. This would be more on the advanced side since it requires that you already have a body of work. But is that something that interests you guys?
