About bijesh ks / Bijesh Karuvarathodiyil  

From God's Own Country, dreamer, traveler...basically normal..

I shoot only film, mostly slides and B&W. Now trying my hands at developing and printing my own films.

I moved to Austin, TX last year.

I love developing my own film and prefer to spend less time manipulating digital photos. Most of my photos are scanned without any adjustments. All I do is load the film to the scanner and click the scan button. I use a Konica-Minolta Dimage Dual IV film scanner.

I own several film SLRs - Nikon F, F3, F5, FM3A, F100 and about 25 lenses. Owning so many cameras makes me a bad photographer....In the early days when I had only one camera and 2 lenses, I used to make better photographs.

I use these films:

B&W - Kodak Tri-X, Fuji Neopan 100 & 400(My favorites), Agfa APX 100 & 400 and Ilford Delta 400.
Color - Fuji Provia and Fuji Velvia.

Most of the B&W film I use are either expired or short-dated. I get them cheap from eBay and it helps to reduce the costs.


Please comment and critique my pictures...I'm still learning.
