Shoot Film
I’ve been shooting film on all my editorial shoots so far in 2012 and I plan to continue (unless things like deadlines call for digital). Whenever I mention that I’m shooting film to the Photo Editor or Art Director, they pretty much say the same thing; “Film? Cool! I love film!” A Photo Editor just the other day said to me: “Oh, you shoot film? No wonder I love your work!”
Then, when I get to the shoot and pull out something like my Mamiya RZ67, every subject has said just about the same thing; “Whoa, what kind of camera is that? You’re shooting film? Wow!” You know what I hear a lot when I pull out a Canon digital?
“Oh, I have one of those.”
Update:
Of course, the day after I post this, Kodak files for bankruptcy. Time to stock up?
Visit my portfolio website, buy custom prints , and for less talk with my pictures follow me on Tumblr.

That is so true! People are mostly interested in the uncommon and you captured it with this post. What are other cameras you have that make people react like this?
Thanks!

I actually had someone the other day say, “120? Medium Format? What’s that?”
Me:”Film.”
Cool portfolio. I love the layout and all those stuff in there. You’re really a pro. How long have been in the industry?
I’m not a fan of yours!

Nice work, I’m glad to hear you’re shooting film. I still prefer it, hopefully we don’t have to stock up on it quite yet though.
I love shooting film. They still have me spellbound & wouldn’t just let me move away to digital.
And that’s a lovely snap.
How often do you shift to digital?

[...] I found a really good deal for a used 7II on ebay and it should be here tomorrow. I have some editorial shoots next week where I’ll put it to use now that I’m shooting film on editorial assignments. [...]
