Day 37

First the two films I have finished already then the paper I will be printing the photographs on to next week

All images subject to copyright. Do not reproduce.

I am young enough, and found my photography passion early enough, to remember film photography before digital took over the photography world. I will not argue whether it is better or worse but I will say that I work with digital very differently to film. I was once told that people who work with film take the practice more seriously and take much more care over every image when they are taking it. I will agree that I take more care over the lighting and focus when I’m using film, I don’t want to waste money, however I find that I take much less care over my subject matter. Traditionally the last few photographs taken on a holiday reel for example are usually taken in the airport or at home when the photographer realises that they have a few photographs left. Now I realise how little time I have left to spend in the darkroom I am taking photographs of anything and everything, even people which is highly unlike me. I want to take any photographs and spend time in the darkroom even if the images have no particular purpose.
