Film

A few weeks ago I shot a roll of 12 exposures with my old bronica. It has been…. almost years since I’ve used film. (Except holga.) I got these back from the lab today and just fell in love with the look. I had a realization that film matches my memories better than digital does. Film has a softer, warmer quality -a little fuzzy on the edges. If I was to look back at this morning with the kids, it would look like film in my head.

I know I am not alone in rediscovering film, so many photographers are doing it these days. A resurgence is going on! I started in photography when I was 15, working in the school darkroom with my best friends, rolling our own film, obsessively waiting for the film to dry after developing… Then I built many of my own darkrooms once I left school and kept at it until around 2005 with my first digital SLR. So today it felt like I was seeing an old friend for the first time in many years.
