More specifically, 35mm film. One of the most potent inventions of the Nineteenth Century. A tool that defined journalism, television, and photography in general for centuries to come. 35mm film revolutionized the image-capturing industry so dramatically that, although often forgotten among the camera-phone equipped masses, it remains relevant in the present day and age. To me, the importance of 35mm film is far more concrete than its extensive and chromatic (although visually monochromatic for decades) history. I continue to shoot 35mm film because I find that my all-time favorite results are garnered not with my many thousand dollar professional digital equipment, but rather my decades old 35mm equipment. The images above are a collection of some my more recent film work (or at least recent in the fact that I developed them only a few weeks ago). They were shot in various locations in Montana and California, on Ilford FP4+, Kodak Porta 160VC, and Fujicolor 200 Film with a Nikon F5. Enjoy.
