Film Negatives
at the studio

This is a working catalog of negatives held at Moondog Mechanica. Each entry is a photograph of the negative itself, made with a phone camera against a homemade lightbox. Not a flatbed scan and not a print-quality reproduction. It's meant for quickly identifying what's on a given negative, not for archival-grade viewing.

The catalog exists to make the collection searchable: browse by year, location, or subject to find a negative that might fit a project or be worth a closer look. What's shown below to start is a handful of favorites. Photos only or the entire the library is one click away. Personal and editorial use is welcome with credit and a link back to Moondog Mechanica; commercial use requires permission from the studio in advance — see “About & Rights” at the bottom of the page.
