Recently, there's been an uprising of film, and the analogue age. It's like I'm almost re-experiencing photography all over again. And I'm not the only one!
Analogue cameras have now been recreated and produced, giving artists and photographers a newfound appreciation for the old age.
Companies like LOMOGRAPHY are producing analogue cameras to produce different effects, like a fisheye camera, or the "helga" camera...each of them creating more creative and artistic shots than a classic point and shoot camera.
And more so, new technology is taking photography to another level. One of the iPhone's most popular app's is a photography application called "Hipstamatic", which takes a picture through the camera in the iPhone, but allows you to choose and swap out "digital" lens', films, and lighting gels. The outcomes of which are both trendy and classic photos. And if you're like me, it's always more enjoyable to say I took this photo with the "John S" or "Helga" lens, and use infrared film...all in a digital way!
So all this to say, the film age is back...in a new light. Whether you pick up your old toy camera, poloroid, or through the Hipstamatic iphone app, you're going to be seeing more and more and more every-day photos in a new creative artistic light.
