What perfect timing! I recently began taking film photos on a Canon A-1 (in fact I only got my first developed photos a few weeks ago), and this seems like the perfect place to grow as a photographer :)

@thewrongjoshua That's awesome, Joshua! There's a whole world of cameras and film out there; it's not dead yet ;)

This is great, I was just thinking of sharing my experiences of initially failing at film photography and slowly embracing it to the point that I have more film cameras than digital. This seems like a perfect tool to share this journey.

I backed the Kickstarter project last year so I'm excited to see it launch. Thanks, @dmitrizzle for building this awesome platform. Long live film-photography!

Thanks for hunting this, Ish! Hey Product Hunt! This is a bit of old, a bit of new; with some art and some tech. Hope you like it! Film photography is a tangible experience, unlike anything else in this digital age. I love the experience of using amazingly-looking old analogue cameras. And the entire process, filled with wonder and anticipation. I wanted to create a community where people could share their film photography stories on a modern, authorship-based platform. This project got its roots in a Kickstarter campaign last year that ended up being 140% funded. A few key points about Anlog.Cafe: - Share your film photography work with a like-minded community. - Tell your story using community photos or contribute yours. - Powered by an open-source blogging platform. Would love to know what you guys think.

Great to see Analog Cafe live and giving a unique platform for the film photography community. Long may it live and grow.

Pros:

Beautifully built, it looks great, and is easy and intuitive to add your words and pictures and upload them.

Cons:

Would like an option for smaller images in the middle of the screen. Right now it's only huge full size or small and offset to the left.
