In appreciation of the classic way of doing things, slow and deliberately; film photography has regained focus in my practice, as well as my occasional digital photography.
I first began learning photographic composition and exposure with disposable film cameras and point-and-shoot digital cameras, in the pre-SLR era. Around the age of 15, I started using film photography in my art practice. Rolling and processing my own film, then spending hours on end developing negatives in the darkroom of my high school. The experience and understanding gained from this is so valuable.

These days I shoot with C41 black and white or Superia400 colour film, in a Pentax Spotmatic SV with original 50mm lens, or my Nikon D40x for the instant gratification not offered by film.

There is something truly special about going back to using rudimentary ways of creating images, in the automated modern world we live in.

I do not strive for perfection in my photography, as much as I strive for feeling and familiarity.
