Individual_romance's photostream  

a vintage individual... a die hard film lover..

"When life fails, the effectiveness of the photographer's art also fails"

My stream is entirely film unless otherwise noted. I develop/scan all my own black and white, except for the C41 stuff which has a greenish cast.

"Film is alive, warm, flexible, and even forgiving. Digital is rigid and cold. "

I love Film Noir...

following quotes from the 1981 Time life book "The art of photography"
" The difference between the two photographers need not be ascribed to intellect, sensitivity of any other vague requisite for success in photography. the first photographer was a man of imagination and intelligence. he had excellent equipment, good intentions and strong feelings about his subject. yet he produced a picture that looks boring confused and pointless."

"In analyzing a picture, the skillful photographer performs three different sorts of exploration. he examines his feelings and thoughts about the subject, in short its meaning to him. he examines all the visual attributes of the scene, seeking those that will best convey his sense of meaning. and he considers various ways in which the chosen visual elements can be arranged in the picture, so that the meaning can be efficiently grasped."
