INVESTMENTS - ANALOGUE HEART
Added 2020-11-07 12:29:16 +0000 UTCI am currently wanting to purchase a scanner and some film processing equipment as I am unsatisfied with the results I get from the lab - as usual.
Prior to moving to Europe last year I always did my own processing and scanning - the whole photographic process from shoot to develop, scan and edit. I had control over each of these stages, two of which don't exist in a digital workflow. Also, I had the benefit of choice of film to use, another non-existent creative option with digital. Plus of course, I have the choice of camera including t he amazing Pentax 67 with the f2.4 105mm lens - the largest aperture medium format lens ever made.
Why would I bother? Because this is where my creative heart is and this is where I can create the images that satisfy me creatively and are more 'me' than any others.
But scanners and film processing equipment costs money, of course. The money you pledge to me via Patreon will be used for this, as soon as I save enough. If you believe in this as much as I do, and would like to see me continue to develop as an analog photographer, you can donate by using my PayPal: michaelrstacey@gmail.com or by going to this link:

The images in this post are a very small selection of European portraits shot on film. See captions for details.
New analog images coming from our recent trip to Germany.
I wonder if any of my Patrons are film photographers?
