In a digital world, the analog seems to call out to us. Film is what I learned on, and still is my preferred medium for photography for slower paced shooting. While I love my mirrorless system for wildlife, and action photography like surfing, it sometimes feels a little sterile. When you have 36 shots on 35mm, or 10 shots on medium format, you are forced to pay attention, focus on compositions, and all the elements that make a great photo. Honestly its always a happy, little surprise when a shot turns out! There is nothing quite like looking at film negatives on a light table, and seeing images for the first time. It brings me a sense of fulfillment that isn’t quite the same with digital.

Film photography will always be a big part of my shooting experience.
