ON SHOOTING FILM

Submitted by Kerria Gray

When I shoot film I am forced to slow down, to consider my surroundings, to contemplate my subjects and to focus slowly and carefully. There is a slow drawn-out joy in the shooting and in the waiting for each roll of film, a calm joy that I don’t experience with digital photography. To me, digital and film are two different beasts altogether, two different crafts, two different ways of seeing and experiencing the world. Digital is easy, and fast, and full of marvelous convenience and all sorts of top qualities, but it lacks some magic that I cannot quite describe. Analogue, on the other hand, is slow, unpredictable, measured, careful, calm. It is also continuously and eternally expensive, and often frustrating and full of tragic mistakes, but somehow it always feels worth it. I take long pauses to set up each shot, I hesitate, I consider every little detail and every little thing in the frame before pressing the shutter and exposing a precious frame. I pause for long drawn-out thoughtful moments.
