I say it all the time the film was easy to rack it was the developing that kept us from taking many more flicks... The 110's and my personal tool "the Kodak Disc" were the best of the times..I didn't have a 35mm until mid '88 and by then it was too late.. That fucking disc lasted so long after that too lol...

I always found film very hard to rack up in the city itself. It was almost laways behind the counter on most shops. Once I had access to people with cars to go racking out to LI, NJ and upstate I was good to go. That was not until 1987 though. Previous to that I had to pay for film much of the time but if I was broke as a mofo I would do the grab and run on them outside stands on Canal St. I'd have half a dozen Chinese motherfuckers chasing me. So I was limited with photographing shit especially when alot more cooler shit was running in 84-85. I would of love to had flicked more throwups and insides back then. I especially regret not flicking them huge ass end to end Retardo Green Jon 156 throwups on the ridgies. A 10 car set of that shit would pull in and you could clearly see it coming from two stations away. I never see anyone with flicks of that shit either. Then developing was a whole other thing. One time me and Wane pulled the master scam at the one hour developing store on Canal St. We bootlegged the free 10 free reprint coupons that came when ever you developed a roll a film. I remember us walking out of there with hunudreds of photos for free for weeks at a time. Finally they caught on but we had other scams running too. I remember one time Ghost & I making hundreds of photos in a shop in Brooklyn. We went back and Ghost did a snatch and run. Im outside on a bike. He passes them to me and I ride off. We meet up a few blocks away. Funny shit. We were as crazy about flicks as we were about painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendalism Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Re: NYC Subways - the good stuff I heard it's a big fat 19 degrees back in NYC today. Shit back 20 years ago that would mean winter layups galore and snowy benching days like this. Ahhh good times were had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desism_ktc Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Re: NYC Subways - the good stuff Me and Elf used to pop the Rite Aid on White Plains Road easily for 10-15 packages of disc film, we had to use that shop up on 228th? (I think) for developing, it was closer than Canal and it wasn't too bad on our teen wallets... You know we just missed each other back in the day, I pieced with your peeps and you pieced with my peeps but we can still relate..funny too I saw you painted with my boy Chief across the ocean..small world aok ris mpc...

I never used that disc film. That was definetly a Cav's special. LOL. I used 110 until 1985. Then I got one of those Minolta Freedom 35 automatic jammies. They were actually pretty cheap back then. Not as cheap as them $10 Keystone 110 cameras but cheap enough to get one for a B-day present. That disc film you can't do much with when it comes to enlarging the photo size. It just gets real blurry...and just trying to find a place to make those negatives out nowadays is a job in itself. Suprisingly we never crossed paths back then. I rolled pretty hard in the Bronx from late 84-86. Then by 86 I started painting BMT's with Mesh and Reas, so I was doing more painting and more benching on the BMT's for our shit . I still would come and bench on Tremont every now and then till the very end of it all. Yeah Chief is mad cool. I had a blast hanging with him and the Italy crew.

As far as i know the ONLY place that develops and prints Kodak Disc negs is Kodak in California...for a hefty fee. Interested to know if anyone knows anywhere else to get them done up...

Ace Frehley Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Re: NYC Subways - the good stuff There are still labs remaining in North America and the UK able to develop disc film. Examples are Blue Moon Camera and Machine, Film Rescue, Dwaynes Photo, Rapid Photo and Rocky Mountain in the USA, and Process C-22 in the UK, serving Europe. These are specialist services and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The less expensive options provide a basic service while others are higher priced but include comprehensive digital corrections which greatly help improve the image quality of such long-expired film. Disc film is not available to purchase new due to the very complex design. No manufacturers remain, nor are any likely to recommence production.

vendalism Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Re: NYC Subways - the good stuff sick Aiin't gonna front either Mesh did that outline on this one. This piece was done on the next car to a blockbuster wholecar he did on the Franklin Ave Shuttle in 1986. Mesh definetly had sick skills. Too bad he was pretty much out of the game of painting after 1986. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
