A neon sign reading OPEN and an overexposed fluorescent overhead light is visible in the background along with the head and shoulder of a person inside the store window.

Film Photography

I had shot two rolls of film in college and loved it, but I couldn’t afford the on-going expense and got a digital camera instead. I really wish I had found my way back to film photography sooner but better late than never. I’ve started shooting both 35mm and 120 film, fully manual cameras, most of them without any built-in light meters. I’m also developing and scanning black & white negatives at home and plan to take on color film soon. Here’s a running log of photos that I’m taking. I have a goal to share at least one photo per roll and eventually also print a photo per roll.

I will figure out a better way to showcase all my photos at some point, but for now the rest of the film photos are here.

A black and white photo of a lone tree against a completely blank sky with a sliver of ground showing in the bottom. The free fills most of the frame, it has a dark trunk but very light colored branches jutting out in every direction with sparse fall leaves still clinging on.
A series of tall windows on a building front next to a building that only has the facade left which also has the openings for tall windows through which you can see a distant taller building with a grid of smaller squarish windows.
Color photo of an old wooden wagon in somewhat dilapidated condition with the wheel closest to the camera having separated from the metal hoop and missing a couple spokes. The scene is light from the right with a strong golden light filtered through green tree branches.
Black and white image showing a tall stalks of grass with beads of dew on them. Most stalks are vertical except one gone across the middle. A few of the stalks have seeding tops weighted down by the moisture, the background is out of focus in a pleasant blur which blown-out highlights in the sky forming some bokeh bubbles.
Alt-text description: Black and white photo of three sky scrapers with glass window facades are lined up with two on the left closer together and the right one with more a gap with the middle building. Each building a different take on rectangle, from left to right: stacked rectangles with triangle shapes sticking out the top, proper rectangles with square segments, rectangle exterior windows facade broken up with recessed rectangles angling down. The top right of the photo has leafless tree branches encroaching towards the top of the buildings.
