Film is Not Dead in Black and White

I have so many things I have to say about this workshop. Even now, weeks later, it’s all a jumble of memories, lessons learned, laughs shared and some of the best learning I’ve ever experienced. I can’t say enough about Jonathan Canlas or the amazing people I met during the FIND Miami workshop. So I won’t for now. I’ll save that for when I post my color pictures later this week.

I decided to share these first because, well, I’ve always been partial to black and white photography. When I was itching to learn how to shoot film, one of the things that I was most looking forward to was shooting with black and white film. For me, it’s all about the deliberate choice to see the world in black and white. I think both the medium (film) and the black and white film itself marries perfectly. I made a choice to slow down by picking up my film camera. I made an even more deliberate choice to strip away things even further. I like the stories I tell this way.

So here is my story, of FIND Miami as seen through black and white followed soon by my full-color review of the awesomeness that was this workshop.

Our models were out-of-control amazing. I would love to hear your thoughts as these are part of my first-ever rolls of film shot of people other than my husband.

Love, e
