I like film because it limits me. When I shoot film, I have to make some decisions about how I want to convey my idea before I even start shooting. These limitations challenge my creativity. I love film because it is not perfect.
Why half frame?Honestly, I bought my first half frame camera because I love the diptychs and triptychs that form when you sequence two or three photographs together.
Favorite combo?Olympus Pen D with Kodak Tri-X 400 shot at ISO 200. My favorite combo.
What are you trying to show?My half frame camera is small and easy to ignore. I love walking around the neighborhood in the mornings taking pictures of various aspects of Japanese life.
