The Old Way

Lately, I have a little lack of motivation. So I had to try something new/old. After a long time I took in hands my old camera, which I received as a gift a few years ago, the Fujica ST705w and the classic Kodak bw400cn (35mm Roll Film, 36 Exposures). What a feeling when you smell a film and load it in the camera. Since you have only 36 shots, you’re thinking a little differently when and how you will press the shutter release button.

And then you waiting … you do not know what you’ve done, or the image is in focus, or the lighting is right. And finally you get a developed negative film… what a joy. I still remember how it used to be when you developed a negative film after traveling and then that waiting. Yes I’m old almost like my Fujica.

  1. I’ll always appreciate the gloom and moodiness of the old black & white photographs. There’s so much atmosphere to them.

  2. Lovely photos! And I’m sure the thinking is different when you know you only have 36 shots….I think I might challenge myself to that with my regular camera; a little more mindful photography.

  3. Theses are wonderful, especially knowing they are done on film. I loved, no cherished, my Nikon 8008. It sits in my closet. The bicycle mirror shot is fantastic. What a joy to get those photos back, you must have felt thrilled. Your talent is definitely in black and white. Bravo.
