Join Michael Raso, John Fedele and Dane Johnson in the year-end Film Photography Podcast!

Michael reminisces about shooting the Christmas-themed music video (with John) “Lookin’ for Santa” way back in the Christmas of 1988. The song was written and performed by the east coast band The Hungry Dutchmen.

FPP listener Diane Fischer (winner of a Polaroid Pack Camera) donates a damaged LOMO LCA camera so that Dane can tinker and (hopefully) fix.

4x5 large format film holders discussed as Michael unearths a box of film goodies from Leslie at Imagine That in Findlay Ohio.

Next up, Michael gives away Polaroid 500 film and cameras (The JoyCam!). The cameras were donated by both Michael and FPP regular-listener Randy Babajtis. The Polaroid 500 format was introduced in 1993 and never caught the imagination (or sales) of the picture-taking public.

Below: Dane modifies a Polaroid film pack so that it is powered by a 9-volt battery. This allows you to shoot film with dead battery packs.

Hey, guys! I'm listening to the episode. Since you pay close attention to the pronunciation, you pronouncing it wrong!!! It is not SHMEENA but SMENA (starts with Sm as in Smile) then you put -yena. So it is smYEna! Greetings from Russia!!!

Great show! Also I'm loving my Smena, it's sitting next to me at my desk. As for abandoned buildings...let me know, I have some connections in the area. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
