So is it bad that I've been totally selfish and have been hording these photos for so long?
Wednesday morning, March 16th to be exact, I got the message in my gmail account, saying that my photos were ready for download. So why is it that here it is Monday, March 21, and I am finally posting photos from the Film Is Not Dead Workshop I attended last October.... I was so anxious for the two weeks it took to get them developed and scanned. And I couldn't stop looking at each and everyone image as they downloaded. I swear it felt like Christmas. So why is it taking me so long to share them?
Maybe I don't want to share.... Maybe I just want to keep them to myself just a bit longer... And at the same time, as I was downloading the files I wanted to announce it to the whole world "I LOVE film." I love it so much my heart aches....
be still my heart....
I studied film photography in college and fell in love. In love with the process. In love with the grain. In love with black and white photos. In love with the rich tone. In love with the smell of the chemicals, the sound of the shutter, and in love with the image as it unfolds in front of me like magic.
So..... The question is, why did I stop shooting film? Well, it's simple really, but not so convincing, I didn't have access to a darkroom. Everyone was shooting digital and it seemed like the cheaper and more convenient way to go. And here I am.... Finding myself falling in love with film all over again.
I sent in 20 rolls of film, a few that are as old as 5 years, and a ton from the workshop. I'm just going to post a few right now. And maybe I'll think about sharing the rest.... or not..... I'm undecided. I still need my special "alone time" with them....
