  • All my photography course work in journalism was shot on film; however in the news room it was all digital.

    When asked, photojournalists I worked with be them professor, student, or professional, discussed photos as language. You learn to speak in film because it forces an understanding of the fundamentals.

    In photo j the shots are not staged and you can maybe get two shots before the news is gone. That feels like film.

    Film is also what people imagine when they think of authenticity. Those grains have very ’ dont quote the old magic to me… ’ vibe

    I was at the bike shop a few weeks back and a ghost walked in. He came in wearing a medical mask covered by a bandana, sunglasses, cap. They wore gloves, long sleaved pants and shirt.

    First question from staff, ‘this a robbery?’

    Ghost, ‘no, I just need 27 2.5 tubes, miss.’

    They get the tubes, he agrees. Staff asks if he has an account. Ghost says, “nope, why would I need one?” Staff says they do it for records, insurance claim assist, and discounts. Ghost goes with a John Doe, pays cash and peaces the fuck out.

    Total King, but dude was given up a lot. Half of us were drinking beers enjoying a warm evening in spring. I hope he has had some good rides.

    I can say with confidence thay he was a white male. In his 50s. About 5’10". 140 lbs-ish. If anyone wants to get any tips, good luck!
