Ten Years in Black and White

Been going through old pictures. Pulled out my box of contact sheets of 120 format black & white photos and scanned them all. Uploaded about 35 images into a set at my Flickr account. They span a little less than a decade of my life, from when I got my sister’s old Yashika 120 camera until I dropped it in the early zeros.

I remember how disappointed I was when I first started getting the film developed that I shot with that particular camera. Nothing was sharp at all. Now I like it; the pictures are hazy — like memories.

I’ve been taking more photos lately with my Yashika. I’m interested to see what I’ll choose as subjects knowing that the results are going to be fuzzy and ambiguous. That sounds a lot like me, though; maybe I’ve found my medium.
