Our photo challenge was “Summer.” Luckily I was in Jersey with a pool so I got some easy shots.
With the advances in digital photography and the cost of high quality cameras so low, everyone has become a photographer. However, few realize what it’s like to shoot with film and fewer still, to shoot with actual black and white film.
The development process was the best part because you didn’t get to see your photos until you hung up your role of film on the drying line. Often times, you’d forget you even took some of your shots and be pleasantly surprised. There was no looking at your LCD screen after every shot, there was no deleting bad pics so that you could shoot more on your already full memory card. Different films yielded different colors, grain and style, which can now be duplicated in a computer, but it’ll never be the same. This week’s photo challenge was an attempt to force everyone to think about shooting for a purpose rather than for an edit in Photoshop later.

This week was a bit hectic and so we chose an easy topic to do. Admittedly, this post is a bit weak, but they were shot on full manual, so they did have a bit of thought behind them. All things considering, it’s a surprise I even had time for these photos. Next week should be more productive.
Enjoy the photos below:
Sam and I started a photo project. It’s pretty simple: a theme and a set of photos (3-5) taken that week. This week’s theme was “After Hours.”
I always take photos, but rarely do I have time to post them. Since I have peer pressure now, it pushes me to go out, take some more photos with some thought behind it and finally post them.
Here’s Sam’s After Hours post.

I finally got around to posting some photos. I’ve been extremely busy these past four weeks and haven’t had time to process any new photos. Here are just some photos from the past couple of weeks.
