een greintjeOpposite corners of the art studio.<br> <br> I took these pictures with an Agfa Clack; seemingly a very popular box camera from the 1950s/1960s as they're easy to find. I found mine in my family's attic. <br> <br> It's doing great still.<br> <br> 📸 Agfa Clack <br> 🎞️ Ilford HP5 <br> <br> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/analog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#analog</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/filmphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#filmphotography</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/believeinfilm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#believeinfilm</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/filmisnotdead?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#filmisnotdead</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/blackandwhite?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackandwhite</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/ilford?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ilford</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/120format?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#120format</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/vintagecamera?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vintagecamera</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/boxcamera?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boxcamera</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/agfaclack?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agfaclack</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/sculpture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sculpture</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/studio?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#studio</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/sunlight?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sunlight</a>
14mission<p>Waiting room, San Jose Diridon station.<br>I can't see anyone in this picture, but the station actually gets pretty busy--but commuters just go straight to the tracks.<br>I should come back and get another version with some people in it.

14mission<p>The last of my <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Seattle</span></a> pix worth sharing.<br>I had one shot left to use up on the way out of town. Everyone was in a hurry to get to the airport, and I had one block walk between the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SoundTransit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoundTransit</span></a> express bus stop and the light-rail/subway station to find something, so I took a picture of a hotdog stand with cool buildings in the background. It came out better than plenty of pictures I spent time carefully planning and setting up! I should take more pictures with people in them.<br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/KodakBrownie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KodakBrownie</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/boxcamera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boxcamera</span></a> <br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/120film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>120film</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/filmisnotdead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filmisnotdead</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/filmphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filmphotography</span></a></p>

14mission<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://babka.social/@azemon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>azemon</span></a></span> Ok, so why is shooting film fun? Admittedly part of it is just making old technology work. For us <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BoxCamera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoxCamera</span></a> fans, another part is just being able to get a good picture out of the simplest possible device, which takes some practice and skill.<br>But the finiteness of film does something to your thinking. I know that every picture I take costs me about $3. So when I go somewhere I want to take pictures, I usually just want to take one, or *maybe* two. So I'm always looking for the essential shot that captures it. This makes you observant. And it's not just about getting "the" shot--it helps you appreciate all the cool stuff you see that you don't take a picture of while you're actually there.</p>
