I'm about to graduate this May from Southern Illinois University with my degree in photography. While some of my fellow students spend their time in digital, I can't get enough of the experience of making photographs with wet chemistry. My love for analogue began when I learned the zone system and found out how I can chart my film density to gain an intelligent control over my exposure and development. When the time came around that Acutol disappeared, I began mixing my own film developer from powdered chemicals, and at that point I knew that no matter what happens to the film industry, I want to continue making analogue images.
I realize that if I end up becoming a commercial photographer, I may have to invest in digital technology to make a living, but I'll never stop shooting film, even if it's during my own free time.
