+ 2023 film +

I was the guy who learned to take pictures on a digital camera…

Unlike digital photography, where you can see your shot instantly and make adjustments on the fly, film photography is more of a guessing game. You have to think about your exposure, your lighting, and your composition before taking the shot. You won't know exactly what you captured until you develop the film. This anticipation adds an element of excitement to the process that is hard to replicate digitally.

Another thing that makes film photography so special is the quality of the images. There's a certain charm to the grainy, imperfect images that you get with film. Each type of film has its own unique characteristics, and the way it interacts with light and color…it’s hard to describe, but the images have a depth and richness to them. And because you only have a limited number of shots on each roll of film, you're more likely to take your time and make each shot count.
