A CALL

Send your exposed, unprocessed roll film to ANALOGICA
to take part in 36EXP the first photographic contest dedicated exclusively to roll films. DEADLINE /// 30 JUNE 2018 |

There was a time when photographing was synonym for surprise.
We gazed upon what we wished to photograph, trying to imagine the final result, and snapped. Then, we waited for the film to be developed. Our photo was only in our head. Nothing was immediate. Even Polaroid photos took a few minutes before slowly appearing in our hands. Photographing was not a synonym for immediacy. Rather for surprise. We never knew exactly what the film was going to show. Wrong photos, beautiful photos, forgotten photos... photography always had an element of surprise. |
Then digital photography came along and everything became instant, or rather simultaneous. It is possible to see the final result of a photo just by looking at the LCD screen of our camera, and we can add filters or modify colors. We know how the photo will look like ahead of time.
No more exciting waits and no more surprises. Over the last few years, though, someone has wanted to go back to the old way of photographing: among them are those who have just discovered this kind of photography and those who never ceased to buy analog films, even when nobody seemed to have given them up. |
This call is dedicated to all who love analog films, slow photography, and being surprised.
