A Film Fanatic is Keeping it Real | fckinphotoblg
Nostalgia won’t lie.
Dust on lens, truth in the grain.
I shoot what I feel.

Test Environment
This isn’t a workflow.
It’s a resurrection bench.
A kit built for coaxing memory back through voltage and dust.
• Epson V600 Photo + transparency adapter
• Datacolor Spyder for full-screen color fidelity
• Dual BenQ 32” production monitors, because one is never enough
• Panasonic BT-18U for checking stills with cinematic eyes
• Horseman 7x magnifying loupe, for inspecting the damage up close
• Rinn X-Ray viewing station (vintage, retrofitted with 5500K “movietones”)
• Staticmaster brush to chase the ghosts of lint and time
Onwards, To the second pass:
• SilverFast 8 for raw scanning control
• Adobe Photoshop with Firefly layered in for AI-augmented resurrection
• Luminar 4, because sometimes you want a mood the others can’t give you

Scanned ghosts whisper soft—
the machine paints over them,
dreams in pixel breath.

Give me scratches, light leaks, truth—
unedited breath.
