104 Experiment – Image 006 – Notes

Notes

 

I recently obtained an Epson Scanner that has an adapter for film strips, so I thought I would share a shot from my most recent film experiment. I shot this image a few months ago with the Pentax ME Super that my dad lent to me. He bought the Pentax when he was fresh out of high school.

Using old equipment and media can be inspiring; it makes me look at ordinary things very differently, not to mention much more decisively. I used to believe that going to an exotic location would lead to better images, but the love of simple things has recently refuted that belief. While traveling and experiencing new things can definitely broaden one’s horizons, it can also be distracting. I yearn to be so observant towards everything around me that I am able to see fresh photographs, ready to be made, in everyday life. This image is meant to serve as an example of that belief. To further drill the point home, let it be known that four out of the six 104 experiment images so far were all created within a half mile of each other around our apartment, and I hope to maintain that ratio.

&#8220To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.&#8221 -Elliott Erwitt
