I already know it’s going to be an expensive hobby to pick up again. But for now, I feel excited and inspired. #OlympusXA #filmisnotdead #filmcamera #35mm

I dusted off my film cameras from storage & they are so beautiful to hold. I picked a classic pocketable point-and-shoot, range finder OLYMPUS XA for ease. Not ready to lug a heavy camera around my neck. Film was still inside it from 10 yrs ago. Interesting to see how age will affect the developing

Digital can look too sharp and too perfect. But even if an image is badly shot or exposed or developed and disappointing, film shots still looks unique, unexpected, and interesting. And when it’s all clicking with the composition and story, it’s perfectly transformational.

Of course this can be simulated in digital. But I don’t use Lightroom and I prefer Straight-Out-Of-Camera (SOOC) JPEGs, and cropping if necessary. I like to show my film pics shot as is.

The expense of developing / scanning and storage was such a hassle. But seeing Steve McCurry prints @leicagalleryny reminded me what’s been missing in my digital photos. The tones in the highlights and shadows, the softness even when sharp, the grain, the “cinematic” feel.

I haven’t shot film in over ten years. The bottom two drawers of my refrigerator are full of film. Probably past expiration date. Kodak Portra, Ektar, Cinestill, Ilford HP5, Vista, Polaroid and films that are no longer being made: Fuji C200, Fuji Superia. #OlympusXA #filmisnotdead #filmcamera #35mm

One day my dream of owning a classic Leica M6 film rangefinder camera w/ a Summicron 35mm lens will come true. This is the 1st time I’ve actually held one. Feels & sounds as beautiful as I imagined. Thanks @leicaStoreNY for showing me the similarities, differences & histories between the models
