1, 2, 3, 4 I declare this ART war!

Monday, January 9, 2012

Sometime I feel like photography is a bit like high school. There's that "other" school who you by nature are supposed to hate. Who's triumphs in basketball and football were that much more epic. You stand your ground at any moment of confrontation with members of that school and you stay true to your hometown. Maybe this was just for me? Maybe I was the only person defending my schools posters at a local zones basketball tournament from 5 bulky jocks from the said "other" school? Maybe I was the only person who broke up with my 9th grade boyfriend for talking to the girls from the "other" school. 

Maybe I was the only person who took high school WAY to seriously?? 

Ha but back to my first point. I feel like there's always this war between so many things in photography. Nikon vs. Canon, Film vs. Digital, Wordpress vs. Blogger vs. Prophoto, Me vs EVERYONE and the list could go on and onnnnn.

Well that's all gonna change now. I'm here to help make everyone friends. My sisters even both shoot Canon and I don't discriminate :o) I'm working on trying to stop comparing myself to everyone and their dog who has a camera and feeling 10X worse about myself. I'm wondering if I should just come to terms with this cycle that comes about every 4-6 weeks. It's my favorite. ps italics is the new font for sarcasm. Spread the word! Run and tell that homeboy homeboy.

I recently stole I mean borrowed my parents old film camera. It's a Canon (say whaaat) AE-1 and I finished off the film that had to of been sitting in it for probs 3 years or more! Some of the exposures work? Others not so much. But can I mention HOW FUN it was picking up my developed film?? It's like Christmas but as often as you want. 






Dear Film, 
I think we're gonna be fast friends.
Sincerly,
me.


ps. Thanks to all those who commented on my last post/entered for the itunes cards giveaway. I'll be contacting winners this week with your address to send the little present your way!

I have a canon ae1 as well. my dad had one and i loved using it throughought my life so i bought my own on ebay! isn't it the greatest!? i think shooting with film requires so much more effort because you're way more limited. i love your pictures too, they look great.
