Snow Days
Leica IIF, 28mm F/6.0, Ilford HP5
I have always been drawn to the gritty, high contrast, black and white photographs from the earliest years of photography. There’s just something about the style inherent in these images that screams Punk Rock.
I always found it incredibly tedious to recreate that look with software and a digital camera. And even if successful, I was always left feeling disappointed and disingenuous afterward.
I think that’s a big reason why I turned to film photography. I wanted to capture gritty, high-contrast photographs but I wanted to do so genuinely using original analog processes.
