5222 Double X
By Mike and Johnny
We are Johnny Patience from Maine and Mike Caputo from Hawaii.
At the heart of this blog and our photographic journey is Mike's idea of a shared 400-foot roll of Kodak's legendary B&W motion picture film, 5222 Double X. Known for its timeless quality, high contrast, and fine grain, this film offers incredible possibilities in black and white photography.
We embark on a journey that unites the East Coast and the Hawaiian Islands. Accompany us on this adventure into the world of black and white photography. We look forward to exploring exposure and development techniques, different subjects and storytelling through our lenses, all within the realm of Kodak 5222 Double X.
Our goal is to share our experiences and lessons learned with fellow photographers, film enthusiasts, and lovers of timeless monochrome imagery. We warmly invite you to join us and follow this journey, as we explore the world frame by frame, exclusively in black and white.
