In this thread has been discussed quite often, whether rather digital images on the one hand or negatives, paper prints and slides on the other hand will be preserved for generations to come. I think we all agree that film images will have a greater chance of remaining for decades and centuries. Even more interesting, however, is the question of which images our posterity will want from us. I do not think that pictures of beautiful landscapes or holiday pictures will be asked first and foremost. Rather, it will be impressions of our everyday lives. Our homes and facilities, towns, streets and cars, but also our food and clothes will most likely be of great interest. So I consider it just as a film photographer our duty to capture our cultural assets and our way of life as diverse as possible in pictures and keep safe.

 

In this sense, a few pictures from the previous century.

Lovely photo Henry! Portra 160 is something special ...

 

Thank you Sunny

 

Nice how the water ist magnetic to the couple, I think Beuys with his " everyone is an artist " was not failing, he ment , that we need something more

than just beeing money making tools, to be complete, I just looked in the Catalogue from an far away exheb. in the Martin Gropius Bau

where I saw his work.

Then it was new surprising, irritating, now its still beautiful but in a way common. Still great powerful Art. 

 

Thank you Becker

Really impressive b&w pictures

 

Rooster Crossing. Rural. For Henry. In case he is becoming bored with city life. :)

 

In SE Indiana we do love our chicken, and never needlessly waste a bird.......Even if it means being late to the job.

Wayne as you know your rural pictures are grealy appreciated here

Very nice

 

Thanks Steve for an interesting analysis of your working methods. Overthinking - thinking about it - is always a bad thing. Sufficient thinking is what's required or, better still in the case of photography "on the spot" - preparedness and gut instinct. A good point made, too, about familiarity with your gear - ideally it will be able to be so invisible that your instinctive recognition of "the moment" will be immediately sourced through eye-brain - hands - camera - photo. Of course it doesn't always work like this, but as the Constantine photo shows (and I forgot to mention the serendipity of her looking down at her phone echoing his looking down at - what - perhaps his sword? What volumes can we make of that?) it sometimes does, and it's just great when that happens. And at least you recognized the kind of absurdity of the viking helmet - you might not think you got the money shot, but to us you did.

 

Here's a shot where I did have the luxury of having some of those discussions in my head - the two people were oblivious to me shooting (a nice quiet and unobtrusive Leica!), so I just had to wait until they were positioned (with regards to my static position at a table having a very nice breakfast) in a favourable way - not overthinking it, just waiting for the choreography to be pleasing. This is the best of the four or five I took:

 

 

 

Upper West Side, New York 2016

M6TTL, 28mm Elmarit, Tri-X

 

Phil , well done in the Henri Cartier Bresson manner

Thank you for posting

Best regards to All of you

I fully agree here. I'm using both film and digital but my suggestion would be to have a print (in my case on photographic paper) now and then from the best or most interesting digital images. Maybe someone will find it interesting later.
