Film
For the past nine months I haven't shot any serious work with a digital camera.
I have shot paper negatives of all sizes and film up to 8x20 and 11x14. I recently returned from four days going around the Great Salt Lake with a group of off-road enthusiasts. All of our gear was pre-1979. Trucks, camping gear, cameras, clothes...the whole package. I shot a Hasselblad 500c, a Canham 4x10 and my old Nikon F. I shot a bunch of black and white and a bunch of transparency film too.
I have been scanning and playing with the black and white files for the past two days and I am constantly reminded why I have fallen back in love with film. It's just plain and simple...it's awesome! Yes, it's slow and clunky and messy and all that other stuff that everyone complains about, but guess what...I don't care!
Anyway, I just had to publicly affirm my love for film.
