It’s been some time since I’ve updated this website, and things have changed during the past several months. Chief among them: I’ve been totally disinterested with my D300. The images I get from that camera – images that make up the bulk of the catalog on this site – are pristine and crisp. But I increasingly see them as sterile. The web is littered with such images.
On the Internet, I sometimes feel like I’m drowning in media. As the number of photographs and videos grow, I seem to value them less and less.
I’ve begun to photograph and develop my own black and white film as an attempt to pierce the dull digital ambiance of my life. As a photographer who began with digital, this is been both exciting and frustrating. I’d like to share a few my first examples with you.
Back in January, I received a few rolls of 20 year old Kodak TMAX 3200. I accidentally exposed one of the rolls, ruining all of the images (oops), but I managed to develop another in my new bathroom-turned-makeshift darkroom. As a result of the film’s age and me screwing up the development process, I managed to get some interesting results:
I’ve been really exited about the results I’ve had so far. In the coming weeks and months, I’ll do my best to add more posts about my adventures with film. Stay tuned!
