I loved their enthusiasm for the film camera! After racing past me and defiantly jumping stairs, doing flips, flirting with danger at high speeds, they stopped and were in awe of the slow shutter feel of a film camera. In this video, Mikael takes his time to align the frame, and even worry a bit about his movement while releasing the shutter.
In our day of rapid digital capture and competing distractions, the seduction of a slow film camera still exists. I plan to teach a workshop using vintage cameras in the near future. I see a thirst in young minds for this type of camera.
The show will open to the public during 9/2 First Thursday. Come out to encourage and celebrate these women as they turn their lives around!
Huge shout out thank you to PushDot for the amazing prints.
The participants’ work was nothing short of outstanding. Truly was.
And she even scored a new camera and light meter at Pro Photo Supply!
I am missing you already, Mary Ellen. And I look forward to working with you again very soon.
BOO!
