A Walk A Roll A Day

Posted on Posted in morning wood, the camera

I’m trying to get through my film stash. Empty the freezer.
This means keeping the cameras loaded and nearby. Taking them for the walk. Using the digital as backup — Along for the ride, but in the bag.

I’m getting down, and don’t plan on keeping a freezer of film again. This means that all the yellow boxes are leaving the house — out with the recycling. I’ve tested Ilford and other films — they’re up to my needs. The last reason for Old Yellow was for color, but not really much need, my pallete can be managed by one of the 4 sensor types I have available.

Old Yellow no longer has a Spot

pick one

I don’t think about what camera I should use that much. I just pick up the one that looks nicest on the day

If you want to change your photographs, you need to change cameras. Changing cameras means that your photographs will change. A really good camera has something I suppose you might describe as its own distinctive aura.
