Just another shy exhibitionist hiding behind a film camera.

Congrats on shooting your 85mm f/1.4 at 1.8! You managed to get only one person in the couple sharp. #lablife #labsnark

Editing sweat off this guy's forehead in five images is breaking my soul. Eww. #lablife

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

"Why are my scans so flat?"
"Your negatives are flat."
Next question. #lablife

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

No, our printer does not have metallic inks. #lablife

@haroldkarl Customer brought a darkroom fiber print for me to match a digital print to. It's impossible.

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

When your customer's match print is a fiber print. 😢

Had someone call and ask for Kodak Tri-Max. We all laughed then contemplated fine grain film with more latitude. #lablife

I consider spotting bad negatives to be my personal form of charitable contribution. #lablife

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

@mgagle I'll do a proof for him too, but it just always makes me *heavy sigh*.

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

When people bring you a 'match print' but you know you can make the color look better. #lablife

@actakesphotos Once you go dark yellow, you'll never go back! But seriously(ish), I hope you love it as much as I love mine!

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

@seecarlashoot I don't like your attitude. 😄

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

Tell someone their work well be ready on Thursday, and they show up Tuesday and act put out that their work isn't ready. #lablife

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

"But who are we to judge?"
"We? We are us. The judgy ones."

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

@actakesphotos It really helps clouds pop without losing detail. An old timer I work with only shoots landscapes-he brings three different yellow filters.

It's 10:27 and I'm ready to be messaaay.

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

@actakesphotos If you go yellow, make sure it's a dark yellow. Mine changed my life.

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

@actakesphotos I use a dark yellow with it and really like the results. Doesn't block up in contrasty situations the way a red tends to.

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

"These scans are so trashy!" Translation: There are so many scratches on these old things that I just cannot even! #lablife

[Gopher It @PhotoGopher]

@ajleaps The struggle is so real.
