Rediscover the Magic of Film Photography
Film photography offers a unique medium of expression that digital photography often fails to capture. For Baby Boomers, this can be a trip down memory lane, evoking the smells of the darkroom and the thrill of seeing a photo come to life. It’s not just about capturing a moment, but also the anticipation and surprise of the final image. Our experts in this area of the site explore the magic of film photography.
Film photography, often seen as a predecessor to digital, captures images on light-sensitive material known as photographic film. Unlike digital photography where images are instantly viewable, film requires a chemical process to develop, making it both an art and a science. Film photography is the method of capturing images where light interacts with a chemical surface to create a picture. This traditional approach requires a deeper understanding of lighting, composition, and camera settings, as every shot counts. Film photography dates back over a century and has played a pivotal role in the development of visual arts. It has been instrumental in documenting history and shaping public perception through iconic imagery. The enduring charm of film photography lies in its ability to capture moments with warmth and authenticity that digital images can often miss. Its artistic and technical demands invite photographers to engage deeply with their craft, making every frame a deliberate creation.

Hailing from Colchester, Modern English took the D.I.Y. approach with their 1979 debut single, and from 1980 through 1984, they were key members of the early 4AD roster, releasing Mesh & Lace, the Hugh Jones productions After the Snow and Ricochet Days, and a handful of singles, all of which routinely hit the U.K. indie charts. "I Melt with You," recorded for the second album and featured in the film Valley Girl, provided the band with an international breakthrough, particularly in the U.S., where it cracked the Billboard Hot 100 and eventually went gold.

“Lots of ambitious books announce themselves,” writes Lauren Christensen in The New York Times Book Review of podcast guest Betsy Lerner’s debut novel Shred Sisters. “This one doesn’t need to.” High praise for a first-time novelist, but that’s not surprising considering Betsy’s long and distinguished career as an editor and literary agent. A born storyteller (and, story-sharer), Betsy has helped to shape our literary landscape, as the guiding hand behind such cultural touchstones as Patti Smith’s Just Kids and Elizabeth Wurtzel’s Prozac Nation.
