the film project: falling in love

I have a new love.  It's complicated, really.

I am in love with film.

There are hurdles to this love interest.  Complications of price and inexperience.  That's why we're going to have a "getting to know you" time this winter to see where this relationship will lead.

I doubt film and I will ever be monogamous.  Digital will always play a big role in my photography.  It is instant and secure.  I do see film entering my shoots...just trying to figure out what that will look like.

My first attempt - ever - at slr photography was last summer.  I was really scared to develop the film.  The camera I used was old and the settings so unfamiliar.

The results actually surprised me...in a good kind of way.  I still have a lot of growth.  However, I adore the artsy and organic feel of these images.

It is love.  I'm just not sure where it will lead.

P.S. the first crush I had on film was through the inspired work of Jose Villa.  Since then, we've met through various artists {such as the talented Jessica Lorren }...I am smitten.
