Digital photo take on GWBFor the past three weeks, I've been able to get a feel for both digital and film cameras. Typically, with a digital camera, I've discovered how easily accessible it was to capture an image. With it, I'm able to filter the pictures that I like even before they're printed by deleting images or viewing them on the screen embedded on the camera. With film cameras, you just don't have the option to. It's quick and easy to take out the camera and take continuous photos without having to feel "bad" about snapping away because there are no rolls of film to consider. Digital cameras are convenient and so highly advanced, that it makes it easier for the photographer to take photos. But as I was exposed to being in the dark room in order to process my negatives and contact sheets, I've experienced a whole new attachment towards the photos I took for my class. It became a personal walk towards the final stage of photo development, where a feeling of authenticity surfaced throughout the process. Starting with placing the film on the wheels in the blinding dark and waiting for the chemicals to process the film, then to waiting for it to dry and processing negatives and, finally, to transferring them on to the contact sheets, I felt the intensity and attention involved through these procedures.
