Ilia's Camera
With the advent of digital, sharing photos has evolved from flipping through proof prints and looking at contact sheets to online galleries, web sites, emails, and simply reviewing the back of the camera and easily deleted. Going back to the archives of images captured on film is an interesting voyage; the beginnings of image series show up that are now captured digitally and series that existed only on their own…hidden in the emulsion and silver which I rarely use today.
I am beginning these weekly posts of images captured on film with an image of photographer Ilia Varcev loading his camera. Going forward, images posted will be scans of prints or negatives. This is an an effort to add to the digitally captured images that these series have evolved into. These are similar trains of thought, begun by investigating with color, black and white, whatever was at hand and now grown with the ease and speed of multiple types of digital capture. In one series, an image may have been captured by medium format, 35 mm, a sony point and shoot or a Canon 5D.
Enjoy. All images will link to flickr which will host more images.
