How quickly things are forgotten!

I'd be a little more impressed if he processed the film himself in his hotel room every night, but still, it's nice to hear the qualities of film being discussed. Especially when it isn't in a plastic camera, lo-fi, artsy look kind of context. It is also a reminder (to me anyway) that time moves on and that there are many professionals working now that have never had the film and darkroom experience. So it is something new for them to explore.


@FrankS: that ad is hilarious! Thanks for the link.
 
Ho, ho, ho....Like I said before, I KNEW this was going to happen. Just like the fact that vinyl LPs are becoming hip again among audiophiles.

Yep, everything old is new again....
 
What are you talking about Pickett? That's a FULL FRAME "sensor" camera! How much do FF Canon and Nikon digital cameras cost? Plus, you don't have to fuss with cords, computers, and software! :)
 
And the neatest thing is that it looks so much like a digital nobody need ever know. Your reputatlion will be safe. :D :D

Yeah, it's like coming home with a new car on a hot day with the windows rolled up so the neighbours won't know that you don't have AC. :)
 
I agree, he's not doing it to be hip. That is a great part of this story. Of course, film never stopped being hip. ;)
 
I quote from their lens blog - "Christoph Bangert wanted to try something new for portraits he was taking in Afghanistan. He used film."

Hey, it's only the New York Times - you can't expect them to be precise with their language or thorough in their research.
 
I'm skipping that Viv' because page started to talk loudly to me in the night, almost waking up parakeet. I do not return to websites implementing bad design, auto-start video in this case.

>2 for $10 1 black paint, 1 chrome?

yeah, and one with color film and one with b&w.

The maroons.
