When I Was Younger
Analogue is old… well actually it’s not old as it’s still around.
Analogue is old and new!
A great thing about shooting on film is to get that “old look” but then you stumble on a pick that really is old and the tones are nothing like modern day films.

What’s your favourite analogue camera?

Let’s take a quick look at what some of our flickr friends think their favourite analogue camera
is!
Square portraits are the best!
Not sure why but I love square portraits. Maybe it’s because we’re so used to “Portrait” mode that it’s nice to have a change.
Shooting square forces us to frame differently while the cameras that shoot in square format also make the subject react differently as they are usually different to rectangular framed cameras.
Here’s a few beauties i picked out from our flickr group
Why shoot on film?
Here’s what some of the boys and girls over at our flickr group think about the benefits of shooting on film!
Featured Photo – Joel Lee (Ceasebreath)
Ok so my second featured photo is a Holga shot again! Well that is probably because the Holga takes pretty good shots!
I met Joel at the Lomography Gallery Store New York. We started chatting and he showed me this pick on his phone. I fell in love with the shot instantly!
Joel Lee AKA Ceasebreath tells me: “I was recently asked to take photos for my good friends the Styrofoam Ones, who are low-fi band from toronto, ontario.
The entire idea was to create a bit of mystery but also convey something that had a low-fi analog feeling to it. Josh McGuirk (singer/bassist), thought it would be a cool idea to shoot something near the go train, so we decided to set up at the desired location.
“During the shoot I framed them more than once in a similar position, without applying any double exposures. After a few shots I had to add a new roll of film and without them knowing, decided to grab the microkorg that was in their tour van and shot it down-flat near the train tracks returning to double expose their original position.”

I thought this would be a great shot to start the featured photo section!
