Digital is so much more convenient but I still enjoy shooting film. Earlier this year I spent a couple days in Hatteras, NC to work on a few projects. I packed my uncle’s Hasselblad 500CM along with my digital camera. I wanted to shoot with the Hasselblad because it was a different format than my digital cameras. Working with a camera format that I am not familiar with really helps me take time to think more carefully about each image.
This is a quick scan of one image from that trip. This is the Frisco Pier that received heavy damage during Hurricane Earl in 2010. The image was shot on Fuji Velvia 50. This is the first negative I have scanned in a couple years, I forgot how much ever piece of dust shows up.
I have cropped several recent images in the square format like this, I like it…
