I am tasked with this huge project: going through a box full of disorganized-to-the-point-of-tears photo CDs and negatives in an effort to pick out what I feel have been my best shots, so far. Here are a few things I've really liked and kind of forgotten about:
A frosty day.
A 4 legged friend at Wildlife Safari.
Yellow roses from a pal.
From my first ever roll of double exposures.
... this one is actually really recent. Maybe it's too dark, but I love it.
The first four are 35mm shots and the last is digital. I've definitely noticed most of the pictures I'm picking out are 35mm. I have a Minolta Maxxum 50- it has my heart forever. I was once loaned one by a friend who wasn't using it, and I used it for months and months before someone stole it out of my car. The friend and I weren't talking much at that point, and he was living in France I think... luckily I was able to get the same camera on Ebay for $80, which I was more than willing to fork over. He never got it back.Every time I shoot with this gem I'm reminded how much I love it and never want to put it down.
FILM! It's what's for Christmas. :)

Nichole, I love your photos. You are very talented with a camera! If you opened a gallery I would totally come visit (and buy something FO SHO).
ReplyDeleteI'm working on my writing a lot more lately and have wondered the same thing- how is my work different or new? In the end, I decided to not worry about that. I think the main thing is to do what you love. Art is extremely subjective, and something that may completely turn off one person may speak to another person on a very deep level. If you're passionate about what you're doing, that passion will reach others through the photos you share. And what more do you need?
DEAR MICHERE I LOVE YOU AND I AM COMING TO YOUR HOUSE (AKA WORDPRESS) RIGHT NOW TO TALK ABOUT THIS
