There is just something beautiful about film. Something that cannot be re-created on a digital camera. Something nostalgic. It takes me back to my roots. Chris & I have been shooting some film recently.... we just have the bug I suppose. Here are a few frames from a shoot we had last weekend with our amazing friends Casey & Danielle.
The first and last frames were shot with our Hasselblad 500C/M (6x6 medium format). We used Kodak's 160 Portra VC 120 film, which makes for some oh so purdy colors.
The next series was shot with our Canon Demi EE17 with Tri-X (400) *my favorite black and white film :) - The Canon Demi is a half frame camera, "Demi" being the french word for half. It uses 35mm film, but takes two 24x18mm exposures in the place of a normal 24x36 film frame. Giving us 72 half frame exposures on a 36 exposure role. Neat huh? I love this little guy.
The last two black and white shots were shot with a Canon 1V with Tri-X 400 (pushed to 800) and developed w/ D76 one to one.
So there are some specs for those film-heads out there who care. Enjoy some filmy goodness.
Full post coming soon...

I love it! Every time I see your film stuff it makes me want to dig out my old gear...
Yep, still gotta love some film. Digital is great, but film still has a unique look: especially optical darkroom prints!
Dude love the entire series. Film when used shows why it rocks. :)
wonderful images! wow!
The color of the 160VC shots are absolutely amazing! It's very high on my list this year to shoot more film. Can't wait to see the whole series.
Your blog seriously just rocks my world. I love that there are pictures of you shooting them, it gives it even more of a nostalgic feel to see the progression of the shoot. I just love it all.
It's been a really long time since I shot film. When rearranging some stuff in my closets and going over my old cameras I told myself that it would be great to do it again. You just pushed more in that direction. I will probably try to get some rolls this week end in case the sun shines
Buttah!
