Film photography & gifs have a lot of common. Graininess, sure, they both have that in spades, but they’re also underdog formats. There are easier ways to capture a moment, and less bloated ways to make that moment move again, but these media just doesn’t know when to quit, and that’s why I find them so charming.
I was telling Allan about my transition from smartphones to film cameras, and my current obsession of mixing digital/analog together. He offered to let me share my year long 3D City project here on Mission Mission. Each week I’ll share some new work along with little bits of info on the camera and film I used (for the photo nerds out there). These shots are from a roll of Arista Premium (a Tri-X knockoff) on my Nishika N8000.
Coincidentally, Photojojo released this today!!

I saw that! Cool, right? I’m actually really interested in doing digital 3D photography, but all the options I’ve seen so far have been just two frames. I think the 4 frame system on these old cameras looks pretty dope if you don’t mind the extra time and effort to process them.
