Post I -- a blog

So I just created this blog five seconds ago.

Why? 

I thought some might be interested in reading how someone who knows nothing about photography is starting to develop an interest in analog photography.

I have a cheap DSLR which i think takes wonderful pictures. But they are so clean and sharp and all that. It looks nice, but it can look even nicer:

I want my photographs to have that 'vintage'-look. Yes, it's quite hipster-ish, but I don't care. It's just so beautiful.

Yes, you can make digital pictures look vintage-ish, but I want the real deal. It want it to be genuine -- real. Special.

There is just something about analog photography. The surprise I imagine you get when getting a film processed, the excitement. You can't just take picture after picture, select the one you like the most and delete the rest. Well, not if you're on a budget anyways.

Analog photography is expensive. Yes, I have some money to spend on it, but I don't want to! I am aiming to spend as little as much, while still taking beautiful pictures.

But there is an upside to the expensiveness. You are really careful with your motives and the whole process of taking a picture -- each picture is special and cared-for. Selected, thought about. It's just completely different from digital photography!

Cameras, film, guides, forums, technical stuff, developing, processing, motives, price??

I don't know much about any of it. I still don't have an analog camera.

But! I will be posting my findings and results here, and hopefully, they will be a help to other beginners. And if I'm lucky, I'll get some help too.
