Building tools for passionate, curious photographers like myself. First up → Process Roll Notes, a web app to log your film rolls, based on my own system that I've devised and tweaked over the last decade of being a professional photographer.
The goal → to rein in the chaos, stay organized, and make it easier to find what you're looking for. Right now the app lets you log rolls, include dates, tag cameras and film stocks, and add notes per frame.
Why? → We are creative people. We do a lot. We are overwhelmed by everything that is not the process of taking pictures. We can be messy, our memory isn't perfect, and we love the idea of a neat and organized archive of notes, but don't know what system to use or where to even start.
Example Use Cases You took a picture of a pigeon on a bicycle last year, but don't remember when or on which roll so you can't easily find the picture? No problem. You wonder how many rolls of Kodak Tri-X you've shot so far ever? No problem. You aren't sure how many rolls you shot on that recent trip to Lagos? No problem.
