Franziska & Rob with my Yashica

About 6 months ago I started buying film cameras. My first was a Yashica MAT 124, and this picture of us was from one of the first few rolls with the camera. Of course I also bought what I needed to develop the film. More recently I bought an enlarger and the few other goodies you need to make prints at home. This is a scan of the print I made last night.

In the moment I’m really enjoying using film & old cameras. I feel so much more involved in the process. It feels like I am actually creating something. It feels real and personal. How long will it last?
