A few weeks ago I was given a perfectly working Rolleiflex X and later a mostly working Yashica C by the same person. I have had a Yashica D for a couple of years or so but never really used it.
I don`t know why but ever since I received my Rolleiflex I have been completely obsessed with film and shooting like mad. It is nice to be back home in the film world again.
Having started with film as a kid but basically going cold turkey and shooting digital for the last 10 years I finally made a switch back to film for the most part. I am sure I will shoot digital from time to time for projects where instant viewing may be needed but not for my art photography.
On 1/1/10 I started a Project 365 with my Rolleiflex and am 6 days into it now. As far as I know not many of us who do 365`s are doing so on film.
My only issue is I wanted to do it mostly if not all on black and white but due to poor planning I did not think to get black and white medium format film until New Years Eve night. This is when I realized the only local camera store that would carry the film I wanted had closed this past summer and as of yet I still have not had time to travel to Sacramento to Pardees Camera to get the film I want.
So, I guess once I get what I have developed I will have to make the images black and white through Photoshop. I had hoped to not have to use Photoshop for this project or any of my film work for that matter.
Hopefully I can make it there this coming weekend.
I will post images from my Project 365 as soon as possible.
