Over the past few years I have become a collector of antique cameras. One of my favorites is my Polaroid Land Camera. Although this beautiful camera will not fire (due to a faulty shutter spring), it always gives me a sense of nostalgia. When I look at it, I am reminded to think about the basics and not get so caught up with the fancy gadgets of the digital age. Its all about making good photography. How you do it really isn't that important.
Webin' the Net is a platform for students from the Art Institute to participate in a group blog. Each week students from Web Portfolio I will come up with a concept to illustrate with a photo and a few thoughts about how that photo fits the concept.
We call them "conceptlogs".

I really like the antique look of this image. Plane of focus is a bit awkward. Way to big, as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you chose black and white for the photograph - I feel like it really captures the essence of antique camera.
