Max

Short twists, a charcoal sports jacket, a small action camera clipped to his chest; the darkroom is half of a partitioned kit room.

He hosts outdoor livestreams and sports challenges. Once the stream is down he shoots the emptied-out site on a small film camera and develops it himself, one roll at a time, on the theory that a day that loud ought to leave a quiet copy behind.

Backstory

Host of outdoor livestreams, the sports-challenge kind. Rooftops, old ball courts, a slope closed off for half a day. With a crowd there he is shouting and reading chat at the same time, and his voice is gone for two days afterwards. Packing up is a different matter. He hangs back once people have gone, and photographs the emptied site and whoever is still breaking down the rig, on a small film camera. He develops those himself, one roll at a time. The stream is off while he does it. He hates losing, and he still touches gloves with the other side before the rematch starts.
