When I was 18 my dad gave me a 35mm camera for Christmas. I set it to “program” mode and brought it with me on my big college adventures–a summer semester in Guadalajara Mexico, nannying in Venice Italy, backpacking through Europe, etc. etc. Sometime around 2004 I switched to digital photography which is when my love for photography really started to blossom. For the past seven years my film camera has been hiding in a camera bag tucked away behind my digital equipment. Last week I decided it was time to pull it out of the closet. I brought it with me on a trip to the park with the goal of shooting in manual mode.
Next step–buy a few rolls of nice film (mine was 8+ years old) and find a lab that doesn’t oversharpen the files!
fun! i bought a boat load of film last week. maybe we’re both yearning for the tangible-ness of it, eh?
Guess so! What kind of film did you get???
Isn’t it fun to go back to 35mm every once in a while? I miss it sometimes.
I’m dying…that first image shot through the bars is amazing!
Love the images…especially the plumber shot! My poor kids have no butt to hold their pants up either. Check out Richard’s Photo Lab for your processing. You will love them!
