Negative feelingsTake a print in your hands. A traditional print. Yes, it can be held, it can be touched, it can be smelled, it can be heard. This essay thematizes the uniqueness of the physical process as well as the thought process of analog photography. As Henri Cartier Bresson wrote well about the decisive moment element "For me photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the meaning of an event and of a precise organization of forms that give that event its right expression.".You are waiting for this moment. It's just a fraction of a second, before pressing the shutter, you establish a personal connection with the scene and wait for the right moment to shoot. But in this very moment, in this 125 of a second in which we are blind, the image exists only in our imagination, as a result of the connection we made before we decided to press the shutter. But the real image isn't there, you haven't seen it. It is captured in the camera and comes out right after the film is developed. You may see your decision 1 hour after the photo was taken or 1 year after the photo was taken. Buy some film, load the camera, shoot it, process it. Why do so many people still care about the analog photography process? In the age of digital photography, we are increasingly confronted with the words easy, fast and cheap. Nowadays, as black and white photographers, we are always forced to defend why we "still" take analog photography. - which the public in fact associates with slow, expensive and complicated. It is perhaps characteristic for our age that the powerful advertising industries can create such a conceptual association, without the people involved wondering whether... middle of paper... leaves time. The tip of the pencil meets the paper. The result of a direct impulse, such as light exposes a negative through the diaphragm and fixes what is in focus. Digitally delayed time can't keep up with the momentum of what you see. Produces a hybrid moment, leads to a thought In an analog image what is seen is evidently congruent with one's inner eye.” -Lothar Baumgarten Considering all these stages of creating an image, every time you press the shutter , you become something personal, magical. All power is given, to be able to absorb and build at the same time. You can take a photograph in your hand, gently run a finger over the surface and feel the texture of the paper. You can hang a photograph on the wall or hide it in a drawer.
