Remember a few months ago when I mentioned getting a hold of my dad's old Minolta? Well, I finally got around to finishing and developing a roll {after a few rounds of trial and error} and thought I'd share a few of my favorites. I was afraid none of them were going to come out, which a few of them didn't, but now I can safely say that I see the appeal of shooting film. Love that combo of low contrast + grain. Next up: a roll of black and white. Hopefully more to share soon.
PS. Thanks for staying on board with me with less frequent posts as this blog finds a new groove. I think as someone who creates, you are constantly trying to bridge a gap between the work you know you want to be creating, and where you're currently at. The process is a journey, but I feel like I'm getting there...
I like the dark and gritty feel to how the images come out.
ReplyDeleteI've developed a new obsession with film. Especially since I'm an amateur and I never actually know if the film will come out the way I expected ;) Your little snapshots are just wonderful!
ReplyDeletedon't stress! post when you feel like it! it's another form of being creative, so it needs to be just as fluid + flexible as any other art.
ReplyDeletealso, i'm with you on the film cameras. off to do some exploring with mine today too... :)
I think its a great thing to really focus and make sure what you are creating is something up to your standards. Also I'm loving film lately too. Maybe its a warmer weather activity.
ReplyDeleteyour photographs always seem to capture the beautiful feeling of 'pause' & composure. looking forward to more <3
ReplyDeleteLove these!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots, Jessica! Film is definitely trial and error, I once shot a whole roll wasn't wound properly. However, most of the time, it's pretty great.
ReplyDeleteJessica, these pictures are beautiful! Can't wait to see the b+w's. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteso well put - "trying to bridge a gap between the work you know you want to be creating, and where you're currently at" -- I am in the same boat.
ReplyDeleteLove these photos, and the top left is really incredible. the tones! only film can give you that...
The top shots are very beautiful. The light is soft and I love the angles you found.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with film! It's an incredibly rewarding medium. Once you know what you're doing and you find your favorite films, it's hard to slow down.
Yay, film! Your photos are lovely. Such a natural talent you got there. My only complaint is that I want to see more! Ha. Looking forward to all the magic you'll be creating cos seriously everything you touch turns into awesome. Have a great week, Jessica!
