As of late I’ve been buying film, because I’ve had this resurgence of wanting to shoot film. I’m going to start trying to incorporate film in to some of my upcoming shoots, and then in the future I would like to do some shoots on film only! from one of my previous posts this year, it’s pretty established that I have plenty of 35mm film, and then plenty black and white 35mm at that! (I need to get some color, which is to come!), but 120 film I’m kind of lacking on (because I only started toying with medium format 5 years ago, and the only medium format cameras that I had at that time were a Holga and a Lubitel 166) I’ve now added a Yashica 124 to my mix, and I’m hoping to be able to set aside some funds to get a Bronica SqA (that’s right I love the square format), so I’m trying out different types of film; I bought some Kodak Portra NC to try it out, and then I’ve been wanting some comparable Fuji Stock (NPH & NPZ) to shoot and compare. So thanks to Ebay, 15 rolls of film have made their way from parts outside of Texas to my door step, fresh stock too.
And also in my Ebay trawling, I managed to snag a Polaroid land model 220, so I bought me a couple of boxes of Polaroid from Adorama as well, looking forward to shooting those, and learning how to effectively shoot with an older Polaroid model!
*PS, for some reason I didn’t move my old yearbook out of the shot, but I guess in a way it’s appropriate, it was all film back in 93
