..38

special: Andrew Murr used a Hasselblad 503 with Kodak Portra 160
film to make this image of the Martin B. Retting gun shop on
Washington Boulevard in Culver City.

So it seems it is possible to select mundane subjects and capture
meaningless images with film. Even shooting with film and using a
Hassie 503 is not going to make this a particularly good image.

This is a "why did he even bother?" shot.

This is a "films too expensive to waste on crap like that" shot IMO.

He could have used a Holga, Diana or any toy camera as the shot is boring!

And there's always the "If you don't get it, there's no use in trying to
explain it to you" view.

Um... you got it?
Why does the argument of "you don't get it" remind me of the Emperor's
New Clothes?

I am not too proud to admit I didn't get it.

His Hasselblad would have made a better, "artier", image
if he had used a better (for the purpose) lens .. a lensbaby.

Why, to prove that "film is not dead", of course. Only the photographers who
use it are. ;^)
