This Section is the film photos that I took from August of 2020 to the end of the year.  I tried to keep them as chronological as I could.   During this semester, I decided to experiment with the different film cameras I had acquired.  The first one was a more modern film camera, it had a digital dial and rolled the reel automatically.  It worked pretty well and I liked it, but I wanted to experiment with my other film cameras.  The second one I tried wasn’t as successful as the other one.  It had three or four settings but honestly I don’t think that the dials worked and it was super basic.  The photos that came out were interesting, but they were not the greatest and I wasn’t too impressed with it.  The third, which is my favorite, was a Pentax K-1000.  Someone I know gave me this camera and I wanted to see how it worked.  The photos that were produced came out amazingly and it has been my number one film camera. 

 Since this was the year of Covid, the darkroom was not taught to me this semester, because of how close quarters it was.  My professor, she did a interesting alternative.  She had us create/use our Instagram page to upload photos weekly and we had to scan our negatives digitally using an app on our phones, to make our negatives into positives, and post the photos weekly then explain the process that we did to get the photos/what brought our attention to them.  Quite a bit of the photos are of my two roommates; however, I did take photos of random people.  One of our projects was “people you know and people you don’t know” which we had do some candid street photography of people.  Another projects photos you will see is “double exposure” in which the film was exposed twice instead of once and creating a trippy faded image.  A lot of the photos are around Covid, due to my project, “Restrictions and Isolation due to Covid-19”, which you can find the link to that booklet in the “Fine Art 2020” section.  In that section I go in a much deeper look into that project and the process of creating it
