This is a film image I took recently. About four weeks ago, I was walking around antique shops with my mother, while she was looking for what she wanted, I decided to take a look to see if they had any film cameras. Lo and behold, they did have one just sitting on a shelf, a Carl Zeiss Contina mk II. Aside from the film release button, everything else on the camera was in full working order. I've always been fascinated with film and the process that goes along with it. Film honestly feels more intimate and personal than digital. The craftsmanship of developing it, anticipation, surprise. With digital, if you don't like an image, you can delete it and start over; you don't get that luxury when working with film. Film really makes you slow down, compose and recompose several times, and makes you think twice whether you really do want to take the shot or not. I prefer shooting film over digital, in fact, I actually have more film cameras than digital cameras.
