“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” — Aaron Siskind

A lot happened in 2020 and, a lot didn’t. Once the lockdown started in NYC, I decided to invest time in learning film photography. I purchased a Pentax K1000 with a 35mm prime and a variety of different color negative and Black and White panchromatic negative film. I like the idea of ‘film is tangible’, where you ride with the imperfections thus liberating you from the insistence that drives pixel peepers to rise or fall chasing ultimate sharpness in digital photography. The grain, texture caused by visible silver crystals in a film negative’s emulsion is unique to the film process and it’s aesthetic. Some would go on to say that the grain is the image. These images represent my still early dive into this medium of photography where the exhilaration is a combination of taking the picture and anticipating the results.
