Shooting film after too long drinking at the fountain of digital kool-aid.

Cut my teeth in the darkroom in the 70's -

Coming back to film because it is so much sharper than digital and the forced involvement of looking and seeing and thinking about what's in front of the lens.

And that great film cameras are cheap now.

Digital is all about marketing, not aesthetics. Tiny sensors, puny focal lengths, expansive depth of field. Lots of pixels! Ik!

Mostly Ilford film and chemistry - I like liquid developers because, at my ( s l o w ) rate of use, I'm more assured the chemistry will be fresh.

Scanning RAW files for medium format and up on Epson 4490 using Hamrick's epic VueScan. And opened in PhotoShop and tweaked a little. Or allot if I'm so moved.

26th year in pushing pixels - trained as a Hell Chromacom operator in 1984 and still in the biz. But, there's no school like old school!
