It has been way too long

some people have asked me about this blog and if it will ever seen an update, and for those few people here it is.

There are many notable things that have happened since the last update, but the best one by far is film.

the typical California picture, I can almost hear katy perry in my head


When I say film I don't mean movies, I mean pictures. I mean the old fashion way of taking pictures, where you would have to actually know what you're doing for a photo to come out properly.

I wish my carseat was this comfortable

The best thing about film cameras is that they are cheap. I bought my 5dm3 for 3500 when it first came out (you can get it for less than 3k now). And the camera I used to take the 2 pictures above I bought for 20 bucks!



It's hard for me to put my finger on it. Film is in focus, yet it's soft. The colors are vibrant and well blended. The pictures I take with my professional digital cameras need work done to them, but with film (as long as you know what you're doing) it comes out of the camera looking amazing.


If you're interested in shooting film, a great book I would recommend is "Film is not Dead" by Jon Canlas. I wish I had read this book 3 years ago. Or if you have any questions just ask.

Film is not expensive and I encourage anyone who's interested to try it, it definitely keeps things interesting.

All these Photos were taken with Canon Eos Elan cameras. Colored photos with Fuji400h and black and white photos with Ilford 400 hp5
