Topic: a piccie from db

[db]

I don't know that I've ever posted a pic here at filmwasters before..

Sorry to go all Julia Margaret Cameron on you like this, but I find it interesting that when I shoot with film I seem to go out of my way to make it so far removed from anything I shoot digitally. For me digital = work, and the automatic associations in my mind are sharpness, correct exposure, formality.. certainly safe, salable work for commercial clients.

So I'm driven to the most imprecise junky, taped up bits of junk to make b/w film images with. I obviously want there to be no doubt that the images made for pleasure did not come out of a Nikon DSLR!

Great stuff, also B&W has just landed on my door with your  amazing readers gallery.

So far my weekend has been great, ive only been out of bed 3 hours and have got B&W and my neice came round and soemone made the grave error of mentioning ice cream....so i was ordered by a two yr old to the shops to buy a cornetto!    nothing like ice cream and B&W for breakfast.

Thanks. Sounds like a nice start to the weekend. But you know you have set a precedent now and your two year old will be ordering all sorts of things- which may get scary when they are 14...

Hey the mag is out? That's  exciting news.  I'm sure a copy is making it's way to the bottom of the world as we speak.

Glad you did! Etheral feel to this. Funny how film and messy cameras makes for photographs with feeling. No dry brightness here. Nice.
