Film Photography

March 26, 2012

A few weeks ago, I meandered over to the Vancouver Flea Market and picked up an old film camera and some lenses for a pittance. Just to mix it up a little. I’ve shot a few rolls by now, and even though I’m still very much learning the ways of film photography, I figured I could share a few frames.

    I've always loved your compositions and seeing it on film just made your work even more interesting to look at. Light leaks, double exposure, flare. Love it.
