Long Live Film
The folks over at the website “too much chocolate” and Kodak are offering free film to 10 emerging photographers. The program is designed provide materials to photographers who might not otherwise have the funds to complete their project on film. Click here to read the details of the grant.
I hate to sound nostalgic but there is a look, and feel to film that is absent from digital photography. Don’t get me wrong, the current generation of digital cameras are amazing. The resolution of 5D Mark II is stunning, bordering breath taking. And I never imagined shooting pictures that look so smooth at 12,500 ISO. But digital photography’s absence of grain and film’s other imperfections make is seem plastic and a little cold.
I look forward to see the work these 10 photographers produce. The deadline for submission of proposals is 11/01/2009.
