Colusite's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I love film.

It's that simple - I enjoy the shooting, the processing and the printing. Many bemoan the slowness of film - the waiting and the inflexibility. To me, this "slowness" is exactly why I choose film. I view it as a craft and medium - not just a means to an end.

I live and work in the northern Virginia and DCMetro area. Photography, to me, is about texture and light. It's about getting that one good shot that requires no explanation, yet conveys volumes.

chrismar says:

"Colusite is like a B&W film god. Every one of his shots is thought provoking and masterfully developed."

Smashn Time says:

"The lone ranger among us, sifting through the forgotten past for its secrets. While we're all busy trying to jump to the top of the ladder, he's taking it one step at a time. No shortcuts for this black sheep in a digital flock."

"This man loves film. There is no higher praise from me. Except for you to LOOK at his film! These photos ROCK!! He's working on digi, unfortunately :("

"Colusite is an incredible master of B & W photography.

Not really, I think he just has some really old camera, but he does some amazing things with it !

And I'm a little worried about whats happening in his iconotar!"

liber says:

"He shoots film and not only does he process it himself, he even builds his own cameras. And much more important, his images show a keen sense of awareness of his surroundings and light. One of my favorite streams here on flickr!"

"Colusite, the defender of film, the user of silver halide! The highest compliment I can pay is to say that I have a print from this artist hanging on my wall. His B&W work is works delving into. Highly recommended."

RuanNiemann says:

"Colusite is a misunderstood genius of epic proportions :-) He clearly has a passion (pathology?) for film, and all the tricky nuances that go along with the medium. It shows in his work, and his B&W work is outstanding. Well respected member of DMU and a pretty decent human being. Have a look at his stream, good quality all round with some truly amazing photos."
