film photography
When in Denver Colorado earlier this month, I got to shoot on top of containers (we won’t talk about that) with my good friend Chris. What a feeling to feel the air up a little higher, and photograph your friend who recently caught on the photography bug.
Photos taken on 120mm Portra 400, developed at a new studio!
If there’s an idiot that decides to go hiking with two heavy cameras, huge backpack and no water, in flip flops, it’s me. I literally wondered if I was going to die in the intense Taiwan humidity. As you can see, life awaited me after this hike was over (and actually unaccomplished haha).
At a certain point during this hike by idiot Masumi I decided to photograph this beautiful view with both of the cameras I had with me. The 120mm Pentax and 35mm Olympus. The first is the 120mm, which you may be able to identify because of the quality, and the second is the 35mm. On top of photo quality you may notice a color difference, which is due to the two different films which were used.
Personally I actually like the overall aesthetic of the 35mm image more. Some of us value sharpness and quality, and there are others like myself who prefer the overall feel of an image. To each their own, and that’s the beauty of expression and art!
Which is do you prefer? :)
Cheers!
