Journy to Old Style

Hasselblad 500c took with SX-70 with Impossible Project film

I had been longtime since I haven't update it my journal in here, so I take a time to updated it my journal. What that i have been thinking all this time. Perhaps after this brand new year my curiosity about photography become deeper and I'm also trying to become quieter and give the others to show their idea and what they want to do. Since i was knowing photography (into it) I realize that i felt like i'm not in the right era to born. All the feeling photography that i mention to photography was from the era of Analog camera. When i introducing to Lomo camera I only know the uniqueness of the film and the effect that got from the camera effect, after that I'm back again to Digital world and I modify my first DSLR camera into Infrared. The changes from the camera result when I looked at it from normal color into False colors become unrealistic scene that made me bored to look at normal color that have been produced by normal DSLR. afterward This gave me a bad effect to look at normal things, so i moved to normal DSLR to neutrals it. I took long period to understand the digital camera and I'm also with play with filters get what i wanted to get. Somehow I felt like is not enough and a lot of thing that i need to know about Photography. Then recently I watched lot of videos and looked at someone post about photography articles. There's much information and ideology that I took and made me want explore it again. I found a blog that selling a Hasselblad 500C around RM 2.500 which I asked suggestion about this price and the camera. First time i was interest on Mamiya RZ67 (if i didn't mistaken) because of the camera could be upgrade it to digital back. after so on I found out that the Mamiya was not post it again and also i found out that it's a bit heavy to go with it. The final result was I bought the Hasselblad.

Everything was change after I bought the Medium format camera. Chemistry of the camera and film types give a different flavors and Depth I never found out on digital camera. I felt in love with the analog and recently I used the camera frequently and I used my DSLR as my light-meter (how sad ). I was so happy and like want to buy the other lens that people still sell it (mostly second hands). When i was go to HK. This the place I hunt them down. Place that camera and all others stuff are considering cheaper and I could found all the product that i wanted. After I got all those thing I recently loving in love with Ilford B&W films. I bought some of films for my back up film that at my hometown this film was already extinct, and hard to find, and if i found it, it would be expensive. Finally i moved on again to different type of camera again that in that time, I was wanted to bought instant camera. First i wanted to buy Fujifilm polaroid camera, but somehow it feel not real polaroid camera. I discovered an old polaroid that second hands also that considering sell it with a good price so I bought it. I really confident that the film still there, because I already research it and found out that the film is still there. When I tried it, the sensation of old polaroid sound and the size of the film was like the legendary time. This instant camera give more impact and flavor rather then Fujifilm instax. And so I explore more about it again, then i finally found the SLR of Polaroid. The film itself is really expensive, but because of the reason to revive it from sleep and want to try it, so I decided to bought this SX-70 camera. Until now it feel so different when i shoot it with it, and the size also for my self is considering compact. The way to shoot it I need to experiment and find out the way to get the good result.

At this moment I'm using analog camera again rather then digital. Maybe there's a lot of advantage of digital have rather then analog but for some other reason the feel of using manual there's more the chemistry and the color that you get is different also. Maybe if you guys can found your analog camera and it still working then try to use it.
