It felt only right to capture the old Hope Cinema on film—an echo of those days when theatres were more than buildings, they were community.

The bustle of families, the aroma of popcorn and butter, the chatter that hushed as the lights dimmed… then a cartoon or preview before the feature began.

Those moments shaped my love for cinema, and the memories remain vivid decades later.

I use mine regularly

Even cell service disappears here, leaving only the sounds of nature.

On this day, the silence was broken only by the soft click of my Hasselblad 500 C/M, capturing the stillness of film in a place where time seems to pause.

I usually roam the woods with a macro lens, a light source and a pocket full of reflectors, but on this day I had none of that. Just my Fuji X T3 with a 50 mm lens and a bit of luck.

After careful restoration it rings again, nearly 80 years later. Photographing it on film felt the right way to honour its place in the story of communication.

Wonderful Olympia!

I watched your video and now I so want to try one of these!

The anticipation of chemical reactions adds allure, while tactile engagement deepens the connection to the medium. Subtle imperfections like grain become artistic elements, creating authenticity and emotional resonance beyond digital precision.

I use one all the time! They work great!

After careful development, three frames appeared — one showing what seems to be onlookers watching the 1958 demolition of Vancouver’s English Bay Pier. A moment once lost for 65 years, now seen again.

I use one every day. Works great!

Mine has worked for years every time without failure. Once you insert it, make sure to fully rotate the spool a couple times to ensure you hear the loudest click. The moment you have that spot, insert the second blade and pull quickly.
