Digital is good too..

So today, I was cleaning out my closet, and low and behold, I found my Photo note book from High School!

Inside was ALL my negatives from the 2 years I took Darkroom, and plenty of notes and ideas! I was one happy girl! In this shoot with Ashley, I wanted to go back the simplicity and honesty of digital! I needed to find that middle ground of film and digital. I probably don't make much sense, what I mean to say is, I needed to find the magic again in digital that I have sooooo easily found in film photography.

My hope, is that I captured it with this shoot. Now, if any of you who are reading this, and have done a shoot with me know this. But for those of you haven't, When I'm shooting, my mind is racing a mile a second with images. Every movement the subject makes; the flick of a finger, the hair blowing in the wind, etc; it all is captivating. And for me, when I'm posing the models I'm shooting, I sometimes don't make sense. Like I'll just skip words... and expect them to understand fully what I just mumbled. It's a trait I strive to fix. But at the same time, its really funny to watch everyone's face go from "oh wow, that is gonna look so cool!" to "what on earth did she just say?!" haha So Ashley, Thanks for being a trooper through my intense lack of pronunciation.  And thank you for giving me images that are exactly what I was looking for.

Hello lovelies! As some of you know, I'm a big fan of finding inspirational/artistic/honest quotes and photographs. I'm selling homemade booklets full of quotes, photographs and drawings I hold close to my heart. (Some are from the internet and some I have made; Ill never tell which! hehe) And if you're intrested in purchasing a booklet, contact me at beccamkz@gmail.com or comment below! :)

The best part is, none of these booklets have the same quotes; all of them are personalized to fit you!

FILM!
I'm crazy for film! I took dark room in High School for two years, (Which is now 3 years ago) and I recently  decided to go back to doing film. And can I say, that's the best decision I've ever made in my career in the last 5 years of Photography. I have been so in love with film. Just the fact that you have to wait to see your work, (which is really hard for me since I'm kind of impatient! Especially when it comes to things like this!) So I got a couple models to test out my new camera I impulsively bought on Amazon. It was from the 1970's so I was excited to get a bit more of the vintage look and add a little character to my photos. Because, lets face it. A camera that's been held by many different people for countless purposes and been to who knows how far across the world in its life, is a good place to start. So the first time I loaded it, I ruined an entire roll of 35mm. I was not very happy with myself since I just finished taking the whole roll. (Luckily it was just a rose on a bed as my subject, but the worst part is, I will never be able to see those photos.) No magic genie or wishes will bring back those photos. And that is the whole reason why I believe film is so much more honest then digital. (I still shoot digital as back up..) But the delicacy of film, the fact that half of a nano-second of light will ruin everything, just makes it that much more precious. With digital, you can literally make an image. You can piece together countless images to make one image that, quite honestly,  never happened. And for me, I've always loved the honesty photography brings and shares to the viewer.  

Anyway, Ill stop ranting on about film. I'm a freak, I know. ;)
