PHOTONewsTV kicks off an exciting new series of bi-weekly videos hosted by Crombie McNeill. This series is dedicated to the art of black and white film photography. Crombie will explore shooting, processing and some radical alternative techniques (maybe even with coffee).
Not only will Crombie bring you into his processing lab and darkroom, but he will entertain you with occasional stories related to his experiences as a freelancer/photojournalist for over 40 years. Crombie has met and photographed everyone from sitting Prime Ministers to The Rolling Stones, Elvis to great Canadian race car driver Gilles Villeneuve and worked with Ansel Adams and Yousf Karsh. His stories will touch on an amazing career where he was detained at gun point, caused a serious injury to the Soviet Union’s #1 diver at an international event, awarded an honorary “Purple Cross” in Vietnam for falling off an APC requiring a field dressing … a small bandage … to being walloped by a senior with her 8mm camera at an event where the Queen was going to appear and his very public experience with Prince Charles.
Crombie is a master storyteller and loves to share his knowledge of photography – especially film photography. This series will be a unique mix of entertaining storytelling with Crombie’s methods for using Ilford Photo film and chemicals and Paterson darkroom equipment.

Hello!
I just watched your preview to using the Ilford film equipment for developing black and white film.
I agree with you there is nothing like film and of course black and white is the best, they will be around forever not like the digital stuff.
Where could I view you showing how to load the film into the cylinder and how to add the chemicals etc…
Thank you
Hi, We are in agreement with b&w film…eternity!
This series is a bi-weekly, so patience for 10 days or so and it’ll be on air. This will be followed with 2-3 more segments.
Sincere thanks for your support!
Crombie
