Bill Dhalle - Travel

In 1997, lulled by the siren song of "cool new digital photo thing", I swore off traditional film photography. Ten years and at least six different digital cameras later, I came to the realization that I had succumbed to the digital curse of letting the camera do the work while I just pressed the button. I missed the days where I told the camera what to do, and not the other way around. In early 2007, quite by chance I discovered a little Russian Soviet-era 35mm film camera called the Lomo LCA. I knew right away that I had to have one. Thus began my journey back into the realm of traditional film photography. I still have a digital camera, but I use it only on occasion, and even then only in full manual mode and with the collection of vintage Soviet and East German manual lenses I've accumulated.
