I will answer when I have a bit more time. But I wanted to say that Film in general is such a loved art form that I dont see all film disapearing.

The Minox, Dana, Holga have all become really popular again!

I would say some film will be with us forever. (not polaroid) 35mm and some of the med formats like hasselblad cameras, TLR's like rollei and mamiya should all have film for years to come.

Just get a popular format. And I dont think you will have a problem with film. Truely Ritz/Kodak and other sources are cheap to have prints done.

I will catch up with more info later. I am Illing and need to make out with my soft sweet pillow. xo

So talk to me about what your thinking.

I really think you would love the adventure of having a camera at your fingertips. Seeing the city you just cant predict what cool life moment will pop up.

Do you want to lean into film more? Vintage or replica camera are really popular right now.
examples would be the classic LOMO: [link]

or Holga [link]

Lomo fish eye
[link]

Or you can go with a solid 35mm new start under $200. I would recommend watching ebay for a old kit someone is selling. pentax, minolta, nikon or canon films are cheap and solid

Or u want to jump digital?
This is a wide open game. Big small complex. Good stuff starting 100-300

nope, they discontinued that kinda film. If you want a great film camera other than those really cool retro cameras (holga/diana etc) I would say think about these:

The cool thing is changable lens. you can get a 50mm so its REALLY small to carry and you can use filters for the fun excepts

Thanks for all the links, I am going to try and look @ them all and maybe make a decision on one.

ZenAkita In reply to MissKris11 [2009-06-27 15:02:35 +0000 UTC]

Please feel free to come back with more questions. there is alot of fun things out there.

My original thought was a camera that you can keep in your purse. thats why I love the legendary rangefinder cameras. Most allow lens changes and filters also. So you can add that OLD school feel to shots. And remember your shooting film so you can go Kodak gold, Fuji Reale or anything that captures the magic for you!

what a great composition of life. Great feel and great shots.

You have matured so much in the last few years in your ability to capture a shot and see artistically. GREAT WORK!

Well to earn my namesake for a moment. Your past actions are only stepping stones to the future you. Be aware, learn, glance back but dont look back......Focus on the magic that lies ahead.

Yes each one of these shots is excellent and your skill is notably increased.

Thank you. And I find it so funny that these photos are better. because these are the ones (San Fran photos) were taken with my iPhone. Haha.

I hope it's not too much to ask, but would you please take a look @ my flickr page and tell me what you think? I submitted more photos on there, and these are better quality and some are different from the ones I had on here. If you can't I understand, I would just love your imput.

I took a peak and I love your gallery. Many of your photos I see as part of your story rather than art.

Not good or bad just my thought. Funny thing Is I love those I phone pix. I guess its just that you see something magic and you have a cammie to grab it. VERY COOL

I say that you have definatly grown and increased your skill. Older photos lack a purpose or crop to focus your attention on a subject. I still see this sometimes with your shots. HOWEVER your artistic shots are going the right way. I like what your seeing

If you have any specific photos you want me to critique ask away.

glad that was a good thing

Let me know if you want more granular info or me to clarify. I dont know if I mentioned it but have you considered getting one of the amazing small film cameras? Even a nice vintage one? Lieca or otherwise. Put it in a small hard case and drop in in your purse. That would really allow you to capture the moments

MissKris11 In reply to ZenAkita [2009-06-15 08:45:28 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for another tip. I don't mean to sound naive, but what kind of camera are you thinking? I'd love to try out another one, but I am not sure which brand would be the best, etc.

ZenAkita In reply to MissKris11 [2009-06-16 00:04:58 +0000 UTC]

Lets just say you just hit a topic I love. Gear and new cameras. So its like saying. Hey bill wants some candy. LOL

I have a little formula that helps me say what works best.

:redbullet: What do you want to do with the camera? For Example Wide angle, Sports shots, mixed or low light. Do you want to shoot vintage shots. like a dana or holga old school camera.

:redbullet: What type of camera would you like. SMALL, Tiny or medium?

:redbullet: Film or digital?

:redbullet: What amount of money do you want to spend.

That will help me offer a suggestion. I love cameras, so im excited to help.

If your thinking digital mini's I love the sony and canon tiny cams.

Well I want to try something new. I have been really interested in holga. I love seeing holga and old school camera photographs. I also love (and I don't know the name, sorry) but it's photos where there is a black border/frame around it. Blah I can't describe well, something like this kind of photo: [link]

or this: [link]

The size honestly doesn't matter to me. Maybe just not gigantic lol.

Film, But I am worried that film won't be around anymore soon, plus I don't have my own darkroom so I would need to get it developed.

Money, I don't want to spend too much, but I know that I want a quality camera, so I guess the price doesn't matter too much right now.

Sorry for the sloppy information, I hope I conveyed what I wanted okay lol. Thanks for all your help!!!
