So recently I purchased a canon ae-1 program camera off of ebay. A cheap new toy to practice and test my photography skills. While I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 5d, I have a nagging suspicion that it makes everything easier. As a photographer I want to be able to produce consistently beautiful images. The film camera is a little step backwards to the basics for me, with less features and more manual control, and more limitations. Plus the look and feel of film is just not quite the same as a digital camera. Here are some initial shots.
