Such a fantastic video!! Really resonated with me when Kat was talking about feeling nervous to get the shot because of people watching or cars passing by… I have felt this way when taking photos so it is nice to hear other people may feel the same. A good reminder to not let that stop you from getting out there anyway. Thanks so much, really enjoyed the art and the commentary!
Thank you for sharing your tutorial, very interesting, I also love old photographs, I have several photographs of my parents grandparents and one or two of my great grandfather. My latest camera is the panasonic fz82. It has a super zoom. Thank you again for sharing your photographs, they are absolutely fabulous.
Thank you so much! I do appreciate black and white film, but I don't know that it speaks to my personality or my work! Either way, I will still shoot it from time to time because it's classic!
Great video and commentary. Definitely a different look on photography. As a beginner I’m always looking for something new and this is great. Thank you
Ha! I do fear the midday sun - I live in sunscreen, especially during summer! But I must get out and enjoy Texas during it's prime summer months because the sun just makes the photos that much better!
Hey if your shooting anytime soon My wife and I are into old structures and landscape photography, I shoot Meduin format and digital, we enjoy road trips, we are from Seguin, TX. Great photos
I love seeing young raw talent, especially when they shoot analogue. Her enthusiasm alone is amazing, I love that level of passion. Add a bit of talent and what more is needed that doesn’t come from keep pressing that shutter? It sounded like her photographer grandfather is no longer with us, if so I'm pretty sure he will be looking down with a very large smile on his face. All the old Canon EOS cameras had different names in Europe than The States and I get confused what is what. I know I have the A2/A2e which is the EOS 5 here and then I have my EOS 1000 nf but I haven’t a clue what it’s called elsewhere. I tend to use the EOS 5 when I want that modern lens look on film, quite a distinct look. Her style of photography would lend itself to larger formats, though I’m not sure her style of photographing would. Our architecture is totally different in the UK and our abandoned buildings are better described as urban decay, which has to be HP5+ developed in Rodinal for me. This is where my Zorki 4K with the Jupiter 8 really shines. I do like Portra for landscapes at 120, but I prefer the more muted 160. I shoot very little colour at 35mm and when I do it’s usually Ektar. I think it’s quite easy to keep returning to the films you know time after and I have to force myself out of my 'film ruts' at times, that’s why Im using TMax for my analogue 365. A brilliant video Ed it’s made me start my day with a smile. Thank you.
Thank you, Mark. My grandfather passed in 2001. I miss him dearly but I'm thankful to have some of his old cameras and lenses at home. They are some of my most prizes possessions. I wasn't a photographer when he was alive, but he always encouraged my creativity. I'd like to think he'd be really proud of me too, so thank you for saying that! It meant a lot to read that and I know my dad and his siblings appreciate that as well. You are correct the architecture is very different in the UK! I recently had the opportunity to visit London for work, but sadly I didn't have enough time to photograph very much. I did get a few shots that I will cherish forever. I hope to visit London and the UK again very soon! There's so much to see and so much to photograph. Especially the ~much older architecture than we have in Texas. My biggest challenge will be stepping out of my comfort zone and I welcome that challenge with open arms and an open mind!
Kat Swansey I’m considerably older than yourself, and one of the terrible things about getting older is that you lose more and more very important people people in your life. However, I firmly believe that those that pass remain with us in spirit. I will turn to my parents for advise asking "What would Dad do?" or "Would Mum approve?". Your grandfather will always be with you, it’s over 50 years since I lost mine but he is still here. You have a wonderful talent for seeing an image where others might not do, that ability trumps gear any day of the week. You also have the amazing ability to objectively review your own images. Don't lose that one or you could end up like many of us and be over critical of your own work. I only have two prints in our home, one digital and one darkroom and it’s only because my wife insists they are staying there that they are still up. I usually give them away to a charity I’m involved with for them to raise money.
@@markharris5771 Thank you again for your kind words. I greatly appreciate it! I love the idea of donating work to charity to help raise money. I've been exploring the idea of releasing another zine and donating most of the funds to a charity that helps rural Texans, but I can't find anything reputable enough. You've inspired me to keep searching and not give up on my idea!
Hey there! I take all of my film to Holland Photo Imaging here in Austin, Texas. They process my film, scan it, and send me the digital files. I then pick up my negatives and store them at home. I don't edit any of my photos, so what you see is what you get. Hope that answers your question!
Kat Swansey Thanks! So they are scanned. I am in the process of digitizing about 6000 slides with my Canon 5D IV and a macro lens. Slow work, but the results are great.
I was just kidding. I live in Belgium (Europe) and I love photographing really old buildings, like castles from the year 1300 but also abandonned Industrial sites. Luckily enough there are quite a few in Liege and Charleroi.
Hahah, not so much embarrassed as much as I get nervous when people are watching or staring at me! I'm getting better about it though. Anything for a good shot :)

Very interesting and some awesome shots! Thanks for sharing, Ed and Kat.
Thank you :)
Thank you, Neels! So glad you enjoyed it! Ed did an amazing job.
Good video
Beautiful shots.
I love B/W but I have never looked at them as being SAD ;-)
Thanks for sharing !!

I like the thoughts she expressed about taking pictures. Nice to see the results of film photography. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
Her pictures are amazing, definitely one of my favorites on IG! Keep up the good work Kat 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate that, Javier!
Fascinating! Interesting that she has no fear of the midday sun.

Kat's awesome! Great video
She is!
You are too kind for saying that! Thank you so much!
Ah, the AE-1 Program. My first SLR in 1982. Also had an A-1.
My wife shoots with the AE-1 Program most of the time. Great camera 📷
It's a great camera! One of my most prized possessions.

She's definitely got a passion for capturing these scenes, and a lot of heart.

How is Kat taking her negatives/prints and digitizing them for online sharing?

@@MartyBecker Wow, I'm sure that's quite the task but you'll be so glad to see them all digitized!
Kat Swansey Yes, definitely worth it. Gave you a follow on IG.
@@MartyBecker Cool! Followed you back!
Thank you, nice video!
Thank you, Hernan! Ed did a fantastic job!
This is what strangely familiar pictures was creates
Unfortunately there are no old buildings in the Usa
You are right if you're comparing it the most of the world! When I say 'old', I suppose I just mean... way older than me ;)

@@wanneske1969 That is awesome! Hopefully someday I can explore more of Europe.
Embarrassed to be seen taking a picture??? Say what?????????
Hahah, not so much embarrassed as much as I get nervous when people are watching or staring at me! I'm getting better about it though. Anything for a good shot :)
