Digital photography is great. You can go out and take as many photos as you want, and you can just delete the ones you don’t like. It allows you to perfect a shot.

On the other hand, it can make you a control freak. I sometimes take dozens of the same shot, trying to make it ‘perfect’ and has somewhat taken the fun out of photography.

Over the past month or so I’ve shot roll after roll of b+w film. I also got myself a polaroid camera while the film is still available.

I haven’t developed all the film yet, I’ll get to that in due course. I do have a few polaroids up to show though. It’s a strange yet wonderful feeling shooting with film. You have the feeling that the shot is more important, you only have the one chance to get it right. In the case of polaroids, you don’t even get the chance to control the settings, so it really makes you concentrate on composing an awesome shot.

Enough from me, here is a photo of my amazing Marky.

I have more photos up on my flickr page so go have a look!
