i have been having this issue for like 4 years maybe, possibly even more! where i have gone to this one place near me (and at times before i moved - not near me) to develop photos bc it's very accessible, not too expensive, really friendly owner who's had that shop for like 30 years, and unlike where i grew up it is just like, harder to find another lab in walking distance, because it is a bigger city - where, every time i have gone, the photos have been tinted purple.
and like the first time that happened (a long while ago) i was like 'hmmmmmm ok, maybe i will not go back there', but then i moved across the road from there and i thought, maybe that was a one off! so i have developed a few more rolls there and um, still sort of purple. but maybe the issue is the film! the film i used Back In The Day is now much more inaccessible than it used to be so i have been using whatever film whatever shop is stocking.
all of my googling was telling me it was a film issue.
i developed two rolls recently at that place and one was taken two years ago, and was purple. which was annoying. i'm still wondering if it's a film issue. but the second roll was that black and white disposable camera that had a bunch of knocks and light leaks (definitely my bad, that thing got knocked around a lot in my bag), and many of the pictures, around the edges, were purple. not a fucking film issue. that shop is a purple menace >:(
anyway this is all to say that i went to this lab on the other side of town across the river that i'd been following on instagram for like 2 years and liked their results to get three rolls of film developed, knowing that the film was the same brand i'd been shooting and bought from the purple shop so it had in my mind a worrisome purple potential, and i just got some low-res scans back (incl those casper pics) and: not purple. the only things that are purple are the things that are meant to be purple.
kodak ultramax 400 found innoocent! kodak gold 200 found innocent! fuijicolor superia x-tra 400 found innocent!
purple menace:
perfect unpurple child:

This was not intended but activity is going to be severely strained for a bit; a couple days back I found out I missed a pretty important email regarding a school project of mine (my school email loves to toss anything into spam if it came from an address that’s not part of the university’s system ;-;) and have been working to get all of that sorted.
I already know this work is going to be bleeding into my semester and I’m going to have to dedicate nearly all my free time to it. But it’s why I’ve barely posted anything these last few days, and why it might still be like that for a bit. Apologies!

why the FXUCHSGK are medium powder free latex gloves SO HARD TO FIND where I live
Not one-size. Not powdered. And maybe I'm being picky but I normally don't see ANY latex options and I'm. I don't have nor do I want to use the gloves around anyone with a latex allergy and if I have to rip through one more vinyl or nitrile glove I swear to ABSOLUTE GOD
