The qualities of black and white 35mm film are like that of a fine steel frame; they are timeless, and while digital and carbon are now the preferred options for shooting and pedalling, there are still those who can not only appreciate the aesthetic, but also the results.

And then there are those who eschew the modern technology and insta-convenience to persevere, to take the time and the risk to get the perfect shot, to wait to see if success or failure won out.

I haven’t shot on film for decades, but watching the No EXIF video series which showcases the work of Hoshi Yoshida makes me want to get an old Leica (because I can’t afford a new one) and jump on my Bosomworth to shoot clandestine street scenes and spontaneous portraits.
