I wrote a book this last year covering the process of learning how to use a fully manual film camera . The process really influenced my visual style and taught me a lot about slowing down and thinking critically about the image I want to make. I think this process would be valuable for any one that is interested in photography and working with film and analog methods. I put together a stand-alone website about the film eBook – Check out

The book is 56 pages of photos and methods of reworking your asthetic intent. Smart phone cameras are great- and I love instagram filters too… but there is a lot of craft involved in shooting film photos.
