Last year I switched a lot of my work to film.  It has been an intensely personal shift for varied and soon to be explained reasons (I’m writing a long and serious post about how frustrated I am with digital and why) but my primary subject as I re-learned my craft with film was, suitably for the personal nature of it, my boy Cedric.  Cedric is a chilled out, thoughtful, and happy little kid.  He loves the outdoors.  He thrives on the attention the camera brings and has started even taking a few little photos here and there with the “crahma”.  It has been a joy to document these early years in analog and it will be a joy to continue doing so.  These were all shot on a Mamiya 645 pro with the Mamiya 2.8 and the Mamiya 1.9 and a Canon GIII I found at Goodwill.  I used various films but my favorites were Ilford Delta 100, Fuji Pro400H, and Ektar 100.  Enjoy!
