If I were forced to pick a favourite, It would be this one, because it shows the natural beauty of the girl, as well as the crude reality within the contrast, grain and exposure. Cigarettes and booze - great combination.... This one has the strongest emotional contrast of the lot.
Hey Jeff, No, I didn't use any filter when shooting this. I don't remember what paper it was printed on (it was a while ago) but it was probably Ilford glossy, that used to be my standard. I hate to break it to you, but I'm getting my first digital camera tomorrow, but I will always have a love for film and will still continue to use it. There are some images I have in my mind that won't work with digital anyways (I want to do more contact sheet images, like "Broken"). But right now I don't have access to a darkroom, and I refuse to shoot black and white and have a lab develop it, so I haven't been doing much in that area lately. I'm might even enroll in a basic photo class at the junior college just to have lab access, that's how desperate I am. :-) Thanks for your comments, they are always appreciated!
Ahhhh...3200. I loved to do studio work with T-max 3200 and one or two lights. So easy to work with. I looked through your portfolio and saw the polaroid transfer too. It seems we have common interests. I also graduated with a photography degree. What paper are you using? Are you using any filters for the 3200? Believe me, I've been through it all, I'm shooting with Neopan now. I found the 3200 to be to contrasty and I wanted to keep detail in the shadows. This one is my favorite in the series. It seems the most natural . Keep going, I know it's hard to stay motivated. I've been at it for 11 years and still struggle. Drop me an e-mail if you wish, I love talking shop with someone who still uses film.
