Respect for Film!

Over the past few years I've noticed people, that I talk to, having some amount of respect for the fact that I stick to film in photography. Frankly, I love it! I am a film artist and it's great to be recognized for sticking to it. I love film. Digital is OK, but it's just not my style. I get something on film that I just don't feel I can get with digital imaging. I'm not sure what to call it; depth? aliveness? a more real feeling? For me the world just seems more alive and real with grain and film. As though I can better reflect our world and people of the world with film.

Here, below, is a recent photograph I made with glorious film, in downtown Detroit.



For those of you who have spoken to me personally, give me the thumbs up or otherwise been encouraging of my insistence of film - I thank you! The good words help.
