FILM NOTES<\/a>: monochrome paradise
\nThe grain is so exotic, and ever so nice.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shooting film might be expensive,
\nEat more beans and rice<\/p>\n

But the silver gelatin will entice
\nYou
\nCreativity<\/a>: you must pay the price.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Why do I love to shoot film?
\nBecause it helps me lose track of time
\nAnalogue nostalgia; turn back the wings of time.<\/p>\n

With film I’m not blinded
\nBy the LCD screen,
\nLife is real
\nNo green screen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With 35 mill, you will get 35 shots of pure thrill.
\nA roll of film might cost you 5 dollar bills
\nBut it will make you photos that make you happy– keep it trill.<\/p>\n

You don’t need a film Leica MP,
\njust dust off some old film cameras
\nAnd get a roll of TRI-X, maybe 2, or three.<\/p>\n

Buzz around the streets like a street photography<\/a> bee
\nLook for your visual honey
\nAnd when you shoot, try to get the money
\nShot
\nShoot without too many thoughts
\nIn your mind
\nTurn off your brain
\nSometimes it can blind
\nYou from seeing good shit.
\nFocus on you resorting: avoid the misses, get the hits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you shoot film, you don’t need a Sekonic
\nJust use a free light meter app,
\nMake your own visual rhythm on the streets, super-sonic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I can’t promise shooting with film will make you better,
\nBut I can guarantee you, it will help your creative weather
\nIt will give you a new breeze in your photography,
\nAnd film looks better than digital– or maybe it’s just me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So what are you waiting for? Buy a copy of FILM NOTES<\/a>, and check out Japan Camera Hunter<\/a>— and unleash your photographic visual thunder.<\/p>\n

Break your photographer’s block<\/a>— asunder
\nAnd lock your digital cameras under
\nYour desk.
\nLet your eyes take a rest
\nFrom looking at a digital screen.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Rather, hold your rolls of film in your hand
\nAnd just scheme
\nOf photo project ideas
\nYou got this my friend
\nSo hit the streets, and do it again, and again.<\/p>\n
