When I shoot using digital cameras I feel like I don't belong, that the results don't represent myself. My fat
Skinny snow by Crista Oiegas
Snow and skin combined. Winter and summer, two seasons many of us wish to combine. Just imagine what it would be like if you could go to the beach, swimming, sun bathing for a week and the next one you'd be "on top of the world" at over 3000 m altitude, free riding your way down. Since this is only a dream for now, I did a shooting with one of my dear friends, Oana. We took advantage of a rainy day, a roll of Ilford Delta ISO 400, a sexy swim suite, ski boots and let' s not forget my love

Portraits of Resilience by Halim Ina
Arab Woman, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon Almost two decades ago my photographic journey began with these faces, and to this day remains focused thanks to the lessons learned in their presence. While they were fleeing for other reasons at that time, the Syrians photographed in Lebanon lived a hand to mouth existence even then. They left their homes in search of a better life, and to escape a suffocating system in their own country. Although they lived in tents lacking running water, sanitation and

Penning The City Down: A Half Frame Tale.
I might have already said, here and there. I might have as I have a well proven history f repeating myself. Anyway. I did try to like digital. And that's a fact. I mean, I was faking it so well I was actually beginning to believe it myself. But that was a long time ago; nowadays I got back to my own feet, and I am usually referred to as 'that freak who shoots film.' So, how did things turn out this way? What did really happen? I believe this camera did. Olympus Pen EES-2 Ilford XP2 400
