"If approached thoughtfully, this moment represents a rare opportunity to bring scientific rigor, clearer regulatory standards and responsible oversight to a space that has operated within a fragmented, state-by-state system for decades."

Harman has a new film out and Alexander put it to the test. The results? Questionable decisions, beautiful chaos, and a fair bit of β€œwhy am I like this?” energy. πŸ˜…πŸŽžοΈ

A Scottish Highland landscape shot on Kodak Aerochrome infrared film, rendering all vegetation in vivid magenta and deep crimson tones. In the foreground, a scatter of lichen-covered granite boulders sits among a dense tangle of bracken and low vegetation glowing in hot pink and burgundy. A treeline of Scots pines rises dramatically behind, their silhouettes dark against the infrared-lit canopy. Beyond them, a rounded moorland hill recedes into the middle distance, rendered in warm rose-brown. The sky above is a pale chartreuse-yellow β€” the characteristic infrared sky tone β€” fading to cream at the horizon, with a faint vignette darkening the upper corners. The square format and film grain give the image a tactile, otherworldly quality.

A black and white film photograph of a moody seascape, with two low-lying rocky islets rising from a dark, gently churning sea. The larger islet sits centre-left on the horizon, its rugged silhouette fringed with breaking waves, while a smaller rocky outcrop extends to the right. A small boat leaves a faint white wake as it passes between them, emphasising the vast scale of the open water. Above, a heavy bank of overcast cloud fills most of the frame, lending the scene a brooding, elemental atmosphere typical of the North Atlantic or Scottish coastline. Film grain adds texture throughout.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A windy country road, with snow piled up in both ditches and a sign warning "Watch for water on road" when flashing.

A snowy expedition.

Shot from the passenger seat on the trusty Panasonic. As much as I enjoy my SLRs and more manual cameras, I do really love a plastic camera I can take with me wherever and get surprisingly good photos from.
