This is a real shame. I used to work for a local lab who (at the time) had a niche in ECN-2 development and this would have been a big hit- We sold cheap respooled film for no profit and made up for it in development/scanning.. also another barrier to entry on #filmphotography 😞

Here’s another old slide I came across, this one shot by Scott Pommier. Burbank, CA. We got arrested for trespassing moments after this and actually spent a short time in jail and had a crappy expensive court case which was ultimately thrown out.
