Summer on Kodak Portra
The good things:
Because I can’t see the photo immediately, I take the photo and move on, allowing me to spend more time focusing on the moment I’m enjoying.
Because I only have one lens for my Pentax 645, I work with what I have and learn to see by repetition. Or maybe trial and error.
Because film, when sent to a good lab, needs very little editing, I don’t need to waste my life away on the computer.
Because my film camera is lighter than my digital camera and easier to carry.
Because I rarely change settings except for the aperture (f stop).
Because searching for good light feels like noticing all the good in the world.
