10 Ways That Shooting on Film Makes You Arty

February 23rd, 2012
haaaaaa. #2 will be me, being arty and cool while really learning how to properly load my film when i'm tired of the arty buckles and burns that come from doing it wrong. :)

I gotta go with 4.. I was soo thrilled to have that lil slip of paper.

Ha - funny!

I only stopped shooting on film four years ago. While I may take it up again for funsies, I doubt it will make me seem arty and cool. Instead, people will see me and think "dinosaur" or "old-arty-farty".

Though I'd like to see a flim resurgence, because I have my grandmother's "Brownie" camera and I wouldn't mind taking that out for a spin too.

Hmmm, I have one shot left on my Holga... might have to take an arty self portrait?

@beautifulthing I thought you and were at least 9 out of the 10
February 23rd, 2012
Definitely no 9. Cogito ergo artsy. Getting older therefore I think I am arty.
@sdpace It's Texas, everyone wears film buckles.
@beautifulthing Can't wait to get home to digitize negatives. Note to self: catch public transport.
@myla Love the slip of paper in wallet. Camera shop women yesterday said just when they thought they would get rid of the C41 processor everyone has started to develop film and buy old cameras on eBay.

@beautifulthing Turn around time yesterday from drop off to pickup was 20 mins (because she had processing machine on). So we wandered down street with 120 Holga negatives my son had shot, had an ice cream, sat out in street cafe, and looked arty while we waited.

I could, if I wanted to... go online and find a developer that I could post my film to for processing. But I am arty enough that I drive 120kms to my nearest photo lab - drop off the roll and then spend the next hour taking a whole roll of shots while waiting for the first one to be processed.

Lol, definitely No 7 :-) Gotta have a shelf dedicated to film!
