Where am I?
How did I get here?
As someone who has been formally trained in the processes of fine art photography, [mainly black & white] to the point where I make my own film and paper developers and run very tight calibration systems, I for many years did not like my own colour work and had little confidence in it.
After using a couple of smaller digital cameras including my phone cameras, I became more comfortable with my colour work, and now have moved away from b&w film altogether and concentrate my film energies purely in colour. None of this would have been possible without 1. digital, and 2. phone cameras.
These two processes allowed me to make cheap mistakes - often- and learn far more from them far quicker than I had in the entire 15 or so years of using b&w materials. It has however now gotten to the point where I hanker for the lo-fi aesthetic of those early cameras, to the point where I am trying to resurrect a precursor to my first digital camera.
As an aside, in my mind each approach now has a relatively defined place in my practice, digital is predominantly about screens and film, prints and books. I see them [iPhones and other lo-fi devices] as sketch making tools, & making sketches is an integral part of the process.
