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 :)

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.

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.
