I was excited as a child years ago with that angelical surprises. Now just look for improving my view and my photos. No more toys, I got tired of buying old cameras to experience oh how cool they are. Now their prices have multiplied thanks to the childish excitement of thousands of blind photographers, no matter how good or bad they see, just is so fun and expensive. Lomography is just the artsy camouflage (cam-camera) of a big business… etc
I agree: The surprise is part of the art
BUT NOT THE ART ITSELF, life casualty is not in your roll or camera brand
Lovely images indeed and sentiments I have certainly had also. I would think that much like myself, you may have plenty similar examples in your digital files. I have often forgot that I set my ISO super high last night and only when I'm editing, realize I spent the day shooting at ISO2000 in bright sun, or that I used +2 exposure a couple of days ago and didn't reset it. I almost never have my digital screen enabled or check while I'm shooting, 30 years has given me either a false ego or I just finally ran out of f*'s to give or I simply am not able to pay attention, in every scenario, I still get plenty of mistakes shooting digital or film and I love them both!! And let's be frank, sometimes they are the best images I made that day.
People are so proud though showing the mistakes of their film rolls
So, you didn’t read the article? 😉
