Film: In The Literal Sense

#TomandEricaSayIdo

Finally put my new(old) Mamiya 645 (see picture on right) to the test. I've always loved shooting film, but it's just so freaking expensive. So I figured, if I'm gonna do it, go big right? For those that don't know, my Mamiya is considered Medium Format, which means a larger negative than your standard 35mm. More surface area = more details. You get the "picture".

Enjoy!

They say pictures last a lifetime, but is that really true in the digital age? How long til your CD or USB drives are outdated. Remember Zip Drives?? Floppys?? Exactly.

My grandfather (on right in above photo) is 96 1/2 and I have negatives, still in great condition, he shot in the 1930s. That's over 80 years ago! This is why I will be making it a point to try and shoot as much film in the future as possible. Let's preserve our memories!

Break-Time's Over!

During the first week of August, my aunt asked me to bring my camera equipment to her son's wedding. Sometimes, the hired photogs don't necessarily take everything you want them to and sometimes there are just certain people they can't get because they're so busy with the bride and groom, rightfully so.

They did hire professional wedding photographers, so I tried to stay out of their way as much as possible, while still capturing what I felt was interesting. It was actually my first time "shooting" a wedding, so I learned a lot and since have become interested in shooting more events.

In total, I took about 400 photographs, I've posted a few for your viewing pleasure. If you were at this wedding and would like copies of any of my photographs, you can reach me at BradResnick@gmail.com.
