hazy


A recent roll of photos I developed, uploaded straight from the scanner without editing. I don't post-process film photos so that I can retain that raw and imperfect beauty of film. All my endless complaints of lugging a heavy camera around with me at uni goes out the window when I finally have the set of warm photos in my hands. As much as I love digital cameras, they'll never quite replace the sentimental value of film. Each developed roll of film is my personal photo journal, each photo representing some particular moment that I still remember capturing - the conversation or train of thought that I interrupted to press the shutter or the tough decision I ponder over whether the shutter speed should be 1/500 or 1/250.

Film will always be a passion, and when the opportunity arises to travel, I'll have rolls and rolls and rolls of film in plastic canisters on my hotel bed - waiting to see how the photos turned out. Just like snail mail and finally receiving that package in the mail, sometimes the anticipation makes the outcome sweeter, and instant isn't always better. I'm not a patient person at all, but there's something about film I can't resist.

  2. Film cameras are just like books. Although so many things like ebooks and ipads replace the need to get an actual book, it's always the natural basics that I find most interesting as well :)

  3. Beautiful photos Jysla!
    I love the mood of each image...the emotion and all the thoughts that seem to have gone into them.
    The shots of Yossuana from your shoot together are so precious. There's this air of ease and sleepy seduction that pulls me in, even through the computer.
    That final picture of the lights in the night is amazing. There's something about lights that never fails to tickle the mind in the most fascinating way.


    Film is such a beautiful medium of expression and shares people in a way that isn't possible with anything else.
    Thank you for sharing all these wonderful photographs with us. Each of them is something different but they're all without a doubt, marvelous.


    At this point in life, I haven't really been exposed to much in the way of film and photography. I hope that changes as I get older! There's something inside of me that just needs to be part of this documentation of moments and memories, no matter how cumbersome and slow it may be.


    I hope you're having a lovely week darling!
