So for those of you who don't know, I enrolled in my first ever film photography class this semester. I am about a month and a half through it so far, and let me tell you, from the second I stepped foot in the darkroom I fell in love. As the class goes on I only fall more in love and get more eager to take pictures and print them. It is such a magical experience and a much more intimate form of photography. It is a whole new world, and I can't believe how long I have been missing out. In my defense, I have looked for film classes at other schools and they didn't have them. Most schools have gotten rid of their dark rooms (SO SAD) by now and have completely switched to digital. Now, as a newly passionate film photographer, what I can't help but wonder is how can they possibly replace film with digital? In my opinion they are two totally different art forms (yes I know they are both photography - why can't we keep both?!), and I love both of them but it truly saddens me to see that film is a dying art.
So, while I have the amazing opportunity to have access to an awesome darkroom, I am all over it! I seriously can not express how in love I am with film and I plan on taking all film classes they have to offer... and then maybe all over again :) I think you get the point.
Anyways, here are a couple of my prints from the last month and a half. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do :)
