i haven't posted film in a while. i had quite a few rolls to sort through from trips to paris, belgium and cape town. however, i was focusing on my digital camera for a while. having that distance is quite nice - most of the shots were taken 3 to 4 months ago. the paris ones 8 months ago! the perspective of looking at them now is pretty cool - i'm not quite as critical of them as i was before, and at the same time find it easier to assess whether or not the shot was successful or not! it's heartening to still like shots that you'd liked upon your initial assessment months ago. and, even nicer when you discover little gems that you'd overloo

i went home to cape town for a holiday and my uncle and i got to talking about our photography. we had a really good time chatting about techniques and what we like about photography. then, just before i left, out of nowhere he bought me a digital camera! a nikon D3100. i wasn't even thinking about going digital - mainly because i couldn't afford to get a digital camera - and i was pretty happy learning to use black and white film. this has made things really interesting! so, i've taken a bit of a break from film to learn how to use the D3100. i've never used a digital at all, so there's going to be lots to learn! i'll be posting some pics
