Since the rise of digital photography in the mid-90s, it started earlier but was still far from reach for the consumer, analogue photography has slowly disappeared into the background. But how much fun is it to still be really serious about setting your camera? Your aperture, shutter speed and have you got the right asa of your film on your light meter? With all the digital violence you don’t have to worry about that anymore, at least… if you easily set everything to Auto. But with analogue, and especially with the somewhat older medium format cameras, you often have to be careful. If you don’t pay attention for a moment, you’ve wasted another piece of precious film. And that’s exactly why… Nothing is more fun than going back to ‘old school photography’. My first camera was a Kiev 88, the Russian Hasselblad. But they were known to be unreliable and lightless and so I quickly bought 2 other analogue medium format cameras, a Bronica ETRS and a Mamiya C3 twin lens. I’ll continue with these 2 boys…
