FILM IS STILL ALIVE

F I L M   IS   S T I L L   A L I V E
I am excited to introduce my new project "FILM IS STILL ALIVE" that I am working on in conjunction with my other photography projects. This project involves using an analog camera and film to demonstrate that film photography is still relevant and not dead as many believe.
Unlike digital cameras, using an analog camera is not easy and requires both technical and practical skills to capture great images. However, I am eager to experience the thrill of using and developing films, and to understand how photographers in the past took their pictures. I hope to capture the unique graininess and old school vibe that disappeared with the advancement of technology.
The suspense of not knowing how a shot will turn out until the film is developed is one of the most exciting aspects of this project. Although I understand that not everyone will relate to this emotion, I hope that those who do will appreciate my use of an old Canon AE-1, Canon 500, and some outdated films.

This project is ongoing, and I cannot wait to see where it takes me.

One of the most rewarding aspects of photography is the feeling of anticipation and mystery that comes with not knowing exactly how an image was captured until days later. The process of capturing an image can be filled with excitement and experimentation, and the final result may not always be immediately clear. This uncertainty adds to the excitement of the process, and when the image is finally developed and revealed, it can be incredibly satisfying to see the final product and understand how the unique combination of settings, lighting, and timing came together to create the shot. The feeling of surprise and discovery that comes with developing an image is what makes photography such a fascinating and enjoyable art form.
