Now I have to say that everywhere you look when it comes to modern day photography is in full force digital format. Digital photography is not only exciting but it seems like everytime you turn around there's something even more interesting to research, examine and bring home. However there is excitement still to be had and not simply if you are one of the many on a tight budget these days, it's film photography and the results can be just as amazing. And surprisingly enough, film is not dead.
When I was a little girl growing up in New Orleans my father was a weekend wedding photographer. Even as a young child I discerned my father's enjoyment in capturing moments that would never come again. Freezing time as it were. I remember sharing in the excitement of viewing the family photos he took of my brother and sister and I in the backyard just playing around. Or just about anywhere for that matter. There was something magically about FotoMat.:)
Now I find myself snapping some 35mm film in my Minolta Maxxum 5 SLR and just as days long gone by yet fondly remembered I look forward with great anticipation when that white photo print envelope is handed over to me.
Here are some of my photos that were diy scanned at home. I had to improvise since the disc drive on my laptop ceased to function for me. Yet, the results are unique and in a way beautiful and artistic as well.
