My recent exposure to film‐based prints got me thinking about the qualities a traditional photograph has when compared to a digital one. I wanted to see if I could simulate the look and feel of a scanned photo using software and a digital camera. Then I wanted to see if I could simulate some of the framing produced from using a rangerfinder camera with manual focus. And then I wanted to simulate the multiple pictures effect of perhaps not being sure if the exposure was correct or the focus was correct or the framing was correct, so another similar but different picture gets taken again—maybe even again again.
The outdoor pictures are all from spots within a short walking distance from my apartment. It’s a great part of the city to explore. I’ll usually go for a stroll when the shadows are long now that the summer weather is here. The light is wonderful, so intensily seasonal. There’s a little bit of everything close by—be it forested pathways, quiet residential streets, or massive slabs of infrastructure. The indoor pictures are mostly of my living room and kitchen during a particularly magical sunrise. I swear it has something to do with having cleaned the windows last week.
This one’s short and sweet—no heavy lifting required.
Enjoy!
