1. On Film

Black & White

This images in this gallery are all from 35mm black & white negative film. Film is just more rewarding to shoot than digital, it's more challenging and getting good results with film is much more satisfying to me. I develop almost all of my own film. This gives me quite a bit more control over the final look of the image and adds another level of challenge and fun to the process. If you really want to experience the fun of photography go buy an old film camera start shooting. Here is a list of my favorite 35mm film to help you get started. Monday, 21 Feb 2011: I got an e-mail from Nik software the other day trying to sell me something called Silver Efex Pro. I was surprised to find out that this is dedicated software for making color images look like B&W photos. For $200 you can buy this software and make images that look like B&W film. I prefer a $5.00 roll of Kodak or Ilford film and about $0.80 worth of developing chemicals.
