Intro to Analog Photography

As a 21st century kid and living in a generation where everything is digital, I feel very lucky to be in this photography class where most of it is using analog film because to take photos with film and the process to develop that film takes a lot of thought process. It's also very critical when using analog film because of how every picture that you take has to be well-executed since there is only a limited amount of film per role. Unlike analog cameras, digital cameras enables you to take over 300 photos and the pictures are easily stored into one small USB card. It is also fairly simple when working with a digital camera because of how you can access your pictures through your computer with the plug of the USB card. Working in an analog photography class is different because of all the process that comes with it such as developing the films, making contact sheet and prints which will be explained in later posts.

In my old school, I also attended a digital photography class so I thought I would be able to handle the work of being in a photo class. However, on the first day of photography class, I was told that the class would be using film which surprised me very much because of how digital and analog film are two very different things. I was worried if I was able to handle that much work and stress since there is a lot to do for analog photography. Although, I promised myself that I would try my hardest to accomplish every assignment the best that I could and try to have fun because this learning experience is not the same as any other. Other than that, I am also very excited to be in the class as it is something that I have never done before anything in my life and probably never will again.
