New to Photrio

[Elijah Willert]

Howdy! My name is Elijah, I am from Wisconsin. I am a lover of film photography, I am a collector of vintage things which includes cameras. I'd say my interest in Film photography really kicked of when I took a photography class in High school and the interest has stayed with me.

Welcome, Elijah!

How long ago did you take that photography class? If recent, it is good to hear film is still being taught (I know it is an a lot of places). What part of Wisconsin? I have spent a fair amount of time over the years in the Eau Claire / Chippewa Falls area, but most Wisconsinites I meet outside of Wisconsin seem to be from Eastern Wisconsin or the Madison area.

It was relatively recent, I graduated in 2015. I took photography my junior and senior year. My brother graduated in 2018 and the photography teacher I had left his senior year and the new one didn't really incorporate film into his classes at all which is sad.

I'm from Manitowoc, so between Sheboygan and Green bay.

Definitely sad. My dad ran a photography program at a High School in California for many years. He retired in the 1990s before digital was that significant.

I did wander a round the area West of Manitowoc a few years ago on a business trip (a few shots ): https://flickr.com/search/?user_id=157638541@N07&view_all=1&text=wisconsin

I have no idea exactly where those were taken, but likely south of Brillion. I think I was driving back towards Chicago, but took some side routes. I had a Contax iia with me on that trip.

I definitely think both film and digital should be taught, I think film helps teach new photographers to slow down. Brillion is where my favorite car got rear ended, I'll have to post a picture of it.

Howdy! I'm still figuring out the layout and how everything works on here, Is there a way for me to add photos to the gallery? Also is there a specific section for sharing photos on the forum?

Okay, I figured it out now. I just shared a photo of one of my old cars in the gallery. This particular image is digital.

Just posted a picture of my favorite old car, it's titled "733i at Swetliks"
