Like many photographers I began my journey using digital equipment. After years of making digital images I found an old film slr camera and 3 lenses for next to nothing, and so grabbed it. I did some research and found out that film was not dead after all, and seemed like it was gaining in popularity at that. And so, I delved further into it and found I enjoyed it so much more. The feel and sounds of the cameras, the smell of developing chemicals and the fact that I could hold my results in my hands. To me film has a sense of realism, a feeling of involvement, a sense of accomplishment that I was not getting before. To date I have a small collection of various format film cameras and develop my own film. Soon enough I will learn to make my own prints too. I am enjoying the journey that is film photography and will continue the ride as long as there is film.
