Film Leica M-A

The color of memory and the color of film

What makes me want to take a picture with film, especially 35mm color film, is people.

I like the photos of people I know, too.

In this article, I'm going to focus on street snaps, but I still like to take pictures of people I know.

It physically turns the film into a memory. Is it because it is such an act?

Unlike digital photography, in which the moment is vacuum-packed, film photography has colors that are clearly different from reality.

However, there is a sense that it is connected to the memory.

In my mind, memories are organized and change color and shape.

This feeling and the depiction of film photography may be a good match.
