Nostalgia in Black & White
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
I was sixteen when a camera became more then just a rectangular box of metal. I had been attracted to the concepts of photography before but for some reason I started to become more attached to photography and all the possibilities that tagged along with it during my sixteenth year of life. I was solely used to writing as a form of expression but I soon discovered that living behind a lens could be just as exhilarating.
Below are some scans from photos I took my junior year of high school. Looking at them gives me a subtle feeling of nostalgia. I've been away from a dark room for nearly two years now only fulfilling my cravings by shooting digital. And although it has been extremely rewarding, I firmly believe that shooting film is even more so. It's a good thing I will be in a dark room again once the new college semester begins.

Gorgeous photos Crystal. I too love shooting in film... there's something so wonderful about the quality of the image, and the colours of colour film, that you just don't quite get with a digital camera, no matter how good.

amazing pictures. i've always wanted to work in a dark room, and it's cute how you started early.
these are so stunning, dear. just gorgeous. there is nothing like film, especially in black and white! and there is something about being in a dark room that is so fulfilling, so calming, so peaceful. i haven't been in a dark room for a couple of years now and i miss it so much!
j'adore b&w... so classy & fabulous.
have a sweet day, xoxo
You know, I just LOVE film photography.
mmm, there's just something a little magical about black and whites, isn't there?
