Another six and more...
[posted at 07:47 GMT]    

Last night I have developed next six rolls of Fomapan 200. I was very tired as I didn't sleep long enough night before. I need really more sleep, need to organize my time the way I can rest enough. At the end of the day I am so tense.

Now when I have all those dozen rolls developed I will start with scanning, it will be quite a job. I must tell you that lately I am looking on digital cameras again. But each time I develop negative I am so happy just to look at it, that I am not sure if this will be also the case shooting with digital. On other hand the freedom to shoot 30 and more shot from one scene is great thing. But the tool is really not that important, I like to work with film, because it gives me great advantage to make picture in very difficult light and like that. The important thing is to use my brain and imagination to create images which will be showcase of my view on things. The way I express it. That is important.

For a quite long time I was taking so called street or documentary photography until beginning of this year when by my Night Mood experiment, went a bit of different direction. Direction when I am more in control what is going and how it is going to be photographed. I like that very much and even I made some shots to fill me Remembering of Childhood project, I still like to go to that more abstract and personal route.
