Call it Toy Camera Photography, Lomography or Analog Photography – whatever it is, it’s still fun. If it creates an image on film and I can scan it, I’ll do it!!!
Folks ask me, “why shoot on film? Digital is easy.” My response is always the same:
“You either like to eat or you like to cook. I like to cook”
The same goes with photography. I want be a significant part of the process required to get my pictures to where I’ll be happy with them…and hopefully you will too.
In the past year, I’ve learned quite a bit about analog photography. I’ve bought several cameras, attended workshops and consider myself a pretty active photographer. I pretty much keep a camera next to me all the time, just ready to take that quick shot if I see it coming.
The purpose of this blog is share my experiences as I load, shoot, develop and print the dozens of pictures I take every week. Hopefully, the feedback I get will teach me something as well. I’ll focus on toy cameras (Desderi, Lomography), Russian cameras (Kiev, Smena), modern film cameras (Fuji, Lomo) and older cameras from yesterday (Canon, Konica); if I have to spool it, I’ll use it. I’ll also experiment with film, lights and other important pieces needed to make this as informative a blog as possible.
That’s it for now, but be on the look-out for upcoming posts…
