Awesome. Maybe I can ask you for advice when I inevitably screw something up. ;)

My photography professor says that digital is almost like shooting slide film - very picky, in other words. Though obviously you can manipulate digital a lot easier, but I think he's got a point (and, uh, duh, he would know. ;) ).

I love pinholes! I made on out of a match box recently. I have yet to develop the fim though. can't wait to see the results. Keep me posted with what you come up with.

I really enjoy the inconsistancy with film development. Its really something when you stumble upon that "gem". Digital is so streamlined that it gives only so much room for human error. I often shoot digital with randomized settings and the preview LCD off to allow for experimentation. I can always go back a find the out the shutter speeds and other information later.
~waxghost:iconwaxghost: Apr 22, 2008, 12:04:18 PM
Absolutely. I find that I am actually more careful about how I take the pictures in many ways. At the same time, I'm not as likely to judge it immediately (because I can't) or merely by the content, and sometimes the best pictures (I'm sure you know) are the ones that are the "weirdest". Plus, there are things you can do with film that you just can't do with digital...

I think my next project is going to be perfecting a pinhole camera, which seems like it will get me even more intimate with the film itself....

I plan on getting into film development this year actually.
With the simplicity of digital photography, I find myself growing more accustomed to setting features that I like more than allowing experimentation to stumble on things. I think film appeals to me for that very reason. It seems to lack in the instant gratification department, but the technicality of it all makes the finished product very mysterious and, when pulled off well, far more satisfying. Has this been the case for you?

No problem. I look for self-portraits that seem to say more about the person than just what they look like, and yours had tons of personality. :)

There's no shame at all. I've been photographing for 7 years and just got into a darkroom for the first time this year myself.

Thank you for your appreciation, it is very encouraging. I enjoyed your gallery very much. Much respect to the photographer who has actually spent sometime in a darkroom. Shame on me.
