I've been loving film photography more and more lately. And the more I shoot on film, the more turned off by digital photography I become. I'm not just romanticizing something "old" or "hip" or "different." No, if you've ever shot consistently on an old film camera, you would probably understand what I mean.
Shooting on film is tough. It's thorough. It's intentional. That's what I love about it. It's a process. It forces you to slow down a little. Slow down a lot. Shooting digital is much more forgiving: take the shot, look at the back of the camera to see if you like it, take the same shot 27 more times just in case. Film is not like that. It's not perfect, but it's honest. A long time passes between taking the shot and seeing what you got. The anticipation is most of the fun.
We don't have to wait for anything anymore. We get anything we want right when we want it. Now. Not with film photography. You wait. And wait. But it's always worth it.
These photos were shot on my great-grandpa, PawPaw's, old Pentax K1000 using Kodak Tri-X400 black and white film. There's a strong sense of nostalgia on this film alone, not to even mention the camera on which it was shot.
