I like taking photographs with old film cameras. If I'm honest, I do | |
this mostly because I enjoy the cameras themselves. I like the way | |
they look, I like the heft of a machine that isn't mostly plastic, I | |
like the sound and the tactile sensation of a good film-advance lever, | |
and I like careful manual focussing. The lack of beeping and/or | |
flashing is relaxing. I enjoy the photos, too, I do think there is a | |
certain "something" about them, but probably nothing that can't be | |
artificially added to a digital photo. I don't believe film has any | |
objetively measureble technical benefits which are worth caring about, | |
and I certainly don't think that all digital photos look "cold and | |
sterile" or anything like that. | |
Here are some of my better shots. I upload these here under the terms | |
