Of film

[pyat]

When I noted I had really gotten into film, I meant.... like, a lot.

I have about 20 film cameras, in 120 and 135 format. I shoot black and white and develop it in my sink. This photo was taken with a 108-year-old camera. You cannot get an older camera that shoots currently manufactured film.

I've found it an incredibly meditative process. I'm not constantly snapping photos of things. I've learned to slow down and compose. I've also learned that I really only need one or two photos from an event, not 200.

That's really cool! As odd as it probably sounds, I love the colors in that photo, it's not just a flat grayscale, there's a really neat warmth to it somehow.

Thanks! Or rather, my Brownie Box 2 Portrait Attachment thanks you. :D They had a reputation for taking warm, glowy photos, and mine still seems to have that knack.
