"Those continuing to shoot film photography are the real photographers, archivists, and documentarians. Film is wildly expensive, as is developing that film if you don't develop it yourself. Getting the shot (especially when the subject is in motion) adds up monetarily, as can the stacks of film negatives and developed film. The barriers to access are numerous when considering analog film photography, making the good stuff that much more precious, radical, and captivating."
"And this is Portland, Oregon, we love analog 'round these parts and aren't afraid to show it. Literally. Noise & Grain, a new exhibition of local analog concert and music photography opens on December 6 at Franklin FOTO Gallery and will be up through the end of the month. The exhibition, curated by musician and photographer Zach Putnam-bassist in Portland bands Tawny Blue and Anjali-embraces the grainy, blurry, washed out imperfections of the medium."
Portable digital cameras let anyone document life instantly, but that does not equate to professional photography. Film photographers bear high costs for film and development, making each shot precious. Film concert photography requires perfect timing and produces grainy, blurry, washed-out imperfections that are celebrated. Portland values analog photography and hosts Noise & Grain, an exhibition of local analog concert and music photography at Franklin FOTO Gallery from December 6 through month-end. The exhibition, curated by musician-photographer Zach Putnam, embraces the medium's imperfections and includes a 2003 Sleater-Kinney frame and contributors such as Corbin C.
