Konica half frame cameras...

Konica eye half frame camera. (mine's the original 1, though it's been abused and is a bit dysfunctional) I've run exactly two rolls of film through it. It's amazing. And I've never uploaded and entire roll of film before but here it is. There's a poetry to the pairings of images that is purely coincidental. It could be extrapolated to the manner in which I acquired this camera, it was given to me at a garage sale where the owner couldn't be bothered to carry it back inside at the end of the day.

Film

Film cameras.

It's a romantic notion. And there's no denying that the photographs that come out of a film camera have a feeling to them that can't be simulated, no mater what Instagram suggests.

Does that mean they are better? More soulful? Maybe.

There's no denying that a digital camera takes a "better" picture. At least by many standards that would be true. It wasn't always that way. Early digital had resolution and noise issues, and medium format cameras are magic, but it took a long time for people to accept that a digital camera could produce a good photograph.

The truth is, film is old, temperamental, difficult to work with, and in reality, produces inferior images.

But there's something magical about it.

I think I'll be shooting more film.
