Nice to read a story about a film camera project.

Yeah, Im very curious to see if the cams ever make it back and see how just the average joe photog shots compare to the prize winning photog shots. Very curious indeed!

I wondered that too, seems the pressure is on since some of the togs have Pulitzer prizes on their mantle.

Hope to see the results.

I like this line...
“The aim is to strip away all the conveniences that make the world so cluttered and return to a time where we thought about the picture we constructed instead of laying our finger down at 12 frames a second,” he says.

I took the rolleiflex out the other day and having been using the digital more than I should I couldn't believe it when frame no. 12 passed. It was a good thing. It slowed me down and made me think about the shot more.

That's a really cool story.  I have thought about leaving a cheap camera with film in it in a public place with the first frame exposed to show the return address for the film once developed just so I could see what people would shoot. 

Hopefully we can catch the resultes.
