Film is not Dead

Earlier this week, we decided to indulge ourselves, and buy a guide called, "Film Is Not Dead." This guide is written by Jonathan Canlas. It is simply a guide to put you in the mindset of film, rather than digital. That's right, I said film. It's a little thin piece of paper that is sensitive to light that so many people are afraid of. Well this is where this guide comes in. Jonathan Canlas teaches you step-by-step how to expose your images, depending on what type of film you have in your camera. This guide helps you understand the principles of film. But to truly develop your craft, you must practice. Jonathan can not stress this enough in his guide. We have read "Film Is Not Dead" from cover to cover many times since we received it. We will most likely read it again. This guide is a must for every digital photographer out there that wants to ignite their creativity again and try something different. The pictures below are our from one of the first rolls of film we shot since reading the guide. (developed and scanned at Walgreens) Our first roll of film is being developed at Richards Photo Lab as we speak. We just wanted to shoot some while we waited. Enjoy!

Zane + Nicole Engaged

A few weeks back one of my buddies from high school asked us if we were open to photograph him and his fiance's engagement. Without a doubt in our minds we agreed. Zane and Nicole made the short trip from Iowa to Omaha for a change of scenery and a weekend getaway before Zane has to leave for his military training. From beginning to end our encounter with such a sweet loving couple was nothing but the best. We were so glad that we got to capture this moment in their lives and we wish nothing but the best for them in the upcoming future. We also want to wish Zane the best of luck and a safe journey through not only his training but his entire career in the military.
