I am posting things a little backwards here because this shot is it for me. I pass this ally every day on my way to work and it has never made a compelling image until I picked up a Canon EOS RT a few days ago. This is the first time I have shot film in about 5 years; I was scared. It was interesting shooting in lighting that I know and second guessing myself. But, true to form, I trusted my gut and this is what came out. I would like to think I could have made this shot digitally, and I most certainly color corrected it that way. But even with my level of understanding of the technical side of both analogue and digital techniques, this film shot "has it". The "it" that is lacking in all the other images I have made here. So, kudos to film?

The images below are also shot with film, and they are also my first few shots on this new camera. Funny enough, of things that should never be shot on 35mm (action photography).

I started shooting at about 13 because some of my friends skated for a large team. Those road trips and silly antics made me fall for the art, but I sure dont miss the high frame rates and low success rates of this type of photography, especially with film. So, kudos to film?

Soooooo, Kudos to film for inspiring me to love the art. Kudos to film for making me switch to digital. Kudos to film for re-invigorating my passion in image making during busy times!
