on film
December 6, 2018shot my first roll of film. and let me tell you, I get it. I understand why people still swear by film photography in the age of digital cameras.
sure, I had to wait a bit to see the final product, but that taught me patience.
sure, I had a limited amount of physical film to use, but that taught me how to shoot with intent.
sure, I totally screwed up my settings and focus in a few shots, but that taught me that I still have a lot to learn and master
even though this isn’t my best work, it’s reigniting a lot of creative possibilities within me and I can’t wait to focus on developing my work in the new year.
if you’re to ask me what the theme of 2019 is for my photography, it’s this: back-to-basics.
enjoy these shots, I can’t wait to look back on these and see how much I’ve improved down the line
[for all you nerds out there, this was shot on a Nikon Fe2 with a 50 mm lens and Portra 400 film]
