Scenes Seen… The Analog Therapy Tag Along: RICOH GRIIIx.
Subtitle: Makes A Strong Case For Going Digital Over Film.
First off, that subtitle…
A caveat.
If I were a reasonable man. But…
I am not a reasonable man.
I do not use film because it makes sense.
I use film because my reptile brain demands that, common sense out the window, I use film. I rambled on a bit about this camera before.
A fine camera.
I shan’t ramble further here. That is what the link above is for.
The setting.
Took it along while I tested a roll of film in Downtown Durham.
Why?
Easy. So when I finish a roll of film… I will not load another roll of film. A real risk as I brought another film to test. But I saved that for another day.
On to the pics.
A few light smearing abstracts on the way home.
The last two are a bit more sober.
Thoughts.
It fits in my back pocket and can create images that rival those from full-blown interchangeable-lens cameras.
A great little camera.
I could see a reasonable person leaving the film cameras at home, or never purchasing them at all, and just using this camera.
While this does not apply to me, I do enjoy having it along.
Happy capturing.
