hiPop I hip. I Pop. I op.

Ne znam kakva su vaša iskustva, ali shvatila sam da mnogo više volim kada me Deja fotka analogno. Film za Yashicu ima dvanaest snimaka na koje ja obično uspem da smestim barem dva outfita i mnogo više zadovoljstva nego i na stotinak digitalnih snimaka. Fotkanje Yashicom podseća na snimanje rendgenom  - pripreme i nameštanje traju, a postoji i ne diši momenat. Onda sledi razvijanje filma, i magija iščekivanja može da počne.

Sa digitalcem uvek imam potrebu da odmah gledam fotografije i na licu mesta ispravljam greške. Što a priori i nije loše, ali lako može da sklizne u opsesivno ponavljanje jedne iste poze da bi se dobio savršen položaj ruke. A onda kad postignete savršen položaj ruke, obavezno pokvarite nešto drugo. I onda ispočetka. Rezultat - stotinak bezmalo istih fotografija, jednakih u svojoj nesavršenosti.

Osim toga, cross processing mnogo bolje izgleda kada stvarno cross processuirate film, umesto korišćenja Photoshop filtera.

Ništa bolje od toplih dana kad im vreme nije. Neko bi rekao da to nije zdravo, verovatno i nije, ali je sigurno praktično za fotkanje. Napolju je trenutno aprilski prijatno, a evo i malog podsećanja na jul u oktobru.

I don't know about you, but I've realized I prefer analog over digital photography. Although Yashica film has only a dozen shots, I usually manage to squeeze in at least two outfits and much more joy than on couple of dozens of digital photos. Being photographed with Yashica resembles a lot of taking an X-ray image by your doctor -it takes a lot of adjusting, trying to find the right position, and then there is the stop breathing moment. After that comes the sweet anxiety of waiting for a film to develop.

Whenever I'm being photographed with a digital camera I have this innate urge to review images right away and try to correct everything I can on the spot. Which is really not bad, except when you slip into obsessive repeating of a single pose, trying to perfect it. But there will always be something wrong with it - if you've made your arms look perfect, your legs would look blah. The result - couple of dozens of photos, all looking  the same, all equally imperfect.

Except that, cross processing does look better if you actually cross process the film, instead of using a Photoshop filter.

My favorite pastime during cold winter days is remembering of warm and sunny ones. These photos were taken last October, during the last breath of Indian summer.
