At first glance I thought, BORING! So… I’m pretty sure that admitting this make me either a gear whore or a complete dork but after a few clicks on his John’s blog, Tokyo Camera Style, I was hooked and cruised thru them all looking for stuff I used to own. John likes that people who shoot film do so on purpose…
Cameras are wonderful little contraptions.
By making photographs, they are tools with which one can express their personal taste and private sensibilities. At the same time they physically exist as expressions of these same concepts. The relationship one has with their cameras affects their approach to making a picture.
People who shoot film simply do because they choose to, and the Photo Culture of Tokyo is full of film camera users.
P.S. John shoots more than just cameras (see his other blog) and incase you’re wondering who Elliot Erwitt is he’s a Magnum Photographer. Go and get a history lesson your freak on you hardcore gear porn junkies.
