Watching the Cold Rush in

Winter has always been the hardest time for me to get motivated to go out and shoot. That is why I have chosen to start a project for myself in order to keep me going through these cold times. I will let you all know what it is soon. But I think I am going to do it entirely in film using some of my new darkroom equipment. I know some will think this is taking a step backwards, but it is not. Some people praise the ability computers have in mimicking film. But there are things that digital can never mimic.

There is a mentality that is involved with using film. You treat each frame with care, knowing that their number is limited. Instead of shooting haphazardly, you go at each shot aiming to create the image in your mind. I find it increases the quality of my work. For me, that is priceless.
