Do you still find film photography to be a worthy artistic pursuit for yourself?

I’d say that the use of film itself is in many ways a ritual, from the loading, to the processing and printing. It’s a process of intense focus, and even doing it consistently is itself a challenge. Paired with the cost of film and chemicals for creating prints, it’s something that nobody should consider if they’re looking to save time or money.

If taking photos as a form of expression carried through from the load, the process, and the printing, it taps into  are Gesamtkunstwerk. a term meant to express total work of art, where the very elements that go into its composition are themselves the artform. One’s choice in lens, film, developing chemicals, and the tools they use to develop all have an impact on tone and resolution, and I think that’s where the real charm lies.

As for myself, it would be nice to get back into film someday. Especially if I get to work in medium and large format film. Ilford Pan F Plus was my medium, with it’s ultrafine grain and extra slow iso 50 film, and ilford papers for printing. Of all the film and paper combinations I worked with, this one really manages to capture shades of black rather brilliantly. Some versions have come out I haven’t had a chance to work with yet. HP5 is said to work extremely well with available light, which is my forte. There’s also a lot of novel film makers out there and I’d love an opportunity to try out some of their experimental films, like wolfman and FPP XRAY! It’s not a priority for me, but I probably wouldn’t say no with the right opportunity presenting itself. I think now I’d be much more interested in photographing plants.
