Pentax KS-1 for Experimental Photography and Film

With regards to digital cameras, there are hidden gems discarded from the recent past as we chase the next camera technological innovations or photography and video.  I came across the Pentax KS-1 produced for only 6-months in 2014.  It features a large high resolution 20 megapixel image sensor that offers excellent clarity and detail thanks to a Shake Reduction system and no anti-moire filter to interfere with sharpness.  But what really grabbed my attention was an effects filter setting called "Bold Monochrome" for high contrast B&W photography and video.  I created a blog to display images produced by this camera in Bold Monochrome.  For use in video, the look is almost like 16mm B&W reversal film.  Link to blog below.

INTANGIBLE (Ver 2) - Updated & Remastered 2019 Release in HD

Back in 2007 I released what now can be considered a prototype film - INTANGIBLE.  But I always wanted to re-release the film with new elements and with the films scanned in HD.  This final mastered version has been completed and will have its premier at 'The Screening Room' in Tucson, Saturday November 23rd as part of The Screening Rooms 30th anniversary.

Intangible will also screen at the Arivaca Film Exhibition on March 7th, 2020

Psychotropic Films presents a Bart Santello presents digital motion picture - "Intangible", a unique an original assembly of decades-old 8mm film.  Fragmented images of fading memory, embodied in decaying film, chosen for their visual texture & artistic quality, are presented in a dream-like sequence, that awaken a perception of a past - long forgotten by time.
