The Revolution Will Not Be Digitised

~LewisBush my general digital account

~Disphotic my film account

~SakeofProgress my photo a day project

I AM a real, live, film photographer,
I roll films, shoot films, proccess films, sometimes ruin films, wash films, print from films, archive films.

I AM Monochrome,
the only colours I know are the red of the safe light and the yellow-brown of developer.

I AM Chemical,
I sniff chemicals to see what they are, I dip my hands into proccessing tanks, I drink as I work, I am a health and safety inspectors nightmare.

I AM as I am,
Dust is a bane, but retouching is for losers, even cropping is an admission of failure.

I AM Considered,
I can't afford to take a shot that I don't believe will be a good one.

I AM Tied
To my subject, by light that was only that way once, by grain that can never be generated, and by a negative that can be imitated but never replicated.

I AM Antiquated,
the only technology I know is the circuitry in my light meter, my frames per second are as many as I can wind, my image stabilisation is as still as I can stand.

I AM Stubborn,
Entirely set in my ways, progress, ease of use, simplification, reason; words with no meaning to me.

I AM Experimental,
Even after half a decade there are always new things to try and to learn, new techniques, new combinations, new discoveries.

I AM Perfectionist,
No time is too much for the perfect print, no labour too great to reach a vision, no... oh! look at the time, the pubs about to open...

I AM Tried
and tested by my media, as my media is by me.

I AM Tired
of cliques and exclusivity, in art as in life. Shooting film makes me no better than you, and no worse.

I AM Disphotic
