You can see Jose Villa AMAZING work here artical and image is by Jose Villa.
I normally hate to write very much for my blog. After all, if a picture is worth a thousand words then why write? I’m a photographer of 10 years, not a writer. I’ve been interviewed a few times and I know I have this persona of being a nice guy who shoots film. For today though, I’d like to change that just a little. I’m not out to become the Bad Boy of the film world, but let’s face it, I love photography and I LOVE film and digital just doesn’t do it for me.
Film has such a classic timeless feel I just don’t get with digital. When I have tried shooting digitally, I find I spend all my time working to make it look like film. Think about how bizarre that is, when you could just shoot film to start with.
Years ago there was a great BMW commercial. The car shopper goes into three different car dealerships and is told, “It handles just like a BMW! It rides just like a BMW! It holds its value, just like a BMW!” The closing tag line of the ad was, “Why not just buy a BMW?”
Well, it’s the same for film. Everyone is spending so much time trying to make digital look like film – so why not just shoot film?
People tell me they save so much money shooting digitally, but how much time are they working on their images? Or even more costly, how many people did they hire who are re-working their files? I’d much rather spend $35,000 a year on my lab bill, know I’m getting consistent quality and have the extra time and money to market myself, travel with only a Holga in hand, teach and simply work to be a better photographer. I’m willing to bet I’ll have a lot more fun in the process too!
I’m getting so many inquires from people who look at my work and see it as timeless. They see the quality of my work and while they don’t always understand why it looks different, they clearly notice there’s something they like that’s not the same as all the other albums they’ve seen. Film makes my work unique in todays digital world.
And although we are living in a digital world, is the Film trend coming back because it is “different”? I don’t know you tell me.
I love film!
P.S. I take a look at my new toy. I love this camera! Holga 120 FN
Model Shoot! Crystal Quandt

January 23, 2010 - 7:09 am - Hey you!! I love them! Thanks so much for your help! Keep your eyes open for new ideas and I'll do the same...2010 is going to be a great year! :) Love you!!
FILM!
Here are a few film shots I shot at the wedding this past weekend more to come! P.S. I am loving the gran in them…P.S.S. To me film brings back the art in photography what do you think?
January 21, 2010 - 3:02 pm - Thanks yall! No Jonathan jose is the man he can rock out some film....I was inspired by him when i went to image USA it has been 4 years since i have shot film. But shooting this wedding it opened my eyes to how much i missed it.
January 21, 2010 - 10:05 am - Awesome man. Look out Jose, Ricki has got it figured out.
January 21, 2010 - 8:47 am - Wonderful! Ugh. I knew you'd do awesome with film.
