When I was in school, I took traditional dark room classes and learned how to photograph using a Leica M3. While it was beneficial to photograph without a meter, slowing down in the darkroom, developing and printing, etc. I ultimately realized it’s a huge waste of time. While my classmates enjoyed fiddling around with all the different cameras, formats, and methods of printing photos, I spent the most time actually doing the thing itself, photographing. I think it’s time to move on from the romantic past of traditional methods and move forward as futurist photographers. If you’re looking for a huge time suck, shoot film! I’ll be on the streets.
