Vintage prints vs. digital. The weight of polaroid and film vs. digital.

The weight of film vs digital

There is a heaviness that exists in each roll of film and in each image
A rawness where there is no deleting and no turning back
Once you hit the button, that”s it. There is a romance to film
that laughs at digital.

I look at the camera to see how many images I have left.
The creases and discoloration that exist in vintage photography are as much of the artwork as the image itself.
Digital usually stays on the computer. The act of dropping off film and waiting a few days to see the images while imagining/hoping which ones you captured “correctly”

This is not a poem, though somehow it is starting sound like one and look like one.
I just love Polaroids and film. I Believe digital is a step backwards
