What’s going on everyone?
First off, we want to say thank you for sticking around and keeping up with the site. It’s been long since we’ve posted an interview. We’ve been looking for some amazing artists, and other ways to get you involved with the site. We have always wanted to make a short film with your help, maybe one of you has written a song, and maybe another one of you has taken a photo, and we can add it all together to make a short film. Video clips from your past, songs you wrote, poems you wrote, anything could work.
We’ve been pondering, and pondering, and just waiting for things to come our way. There will be interviews to be posted regularly again, but until then, keep following us and keep telling us what you think. We have the FACEBOOK page and we have the e-mail THEKINDARTIST@GMAIL.COM so let us know what you’re thinking, we know you have some awesome ideas stirring up!
So, we’ve always wondered here, do you like shooting film or digital? Digital has come a long way since it’s start, and it’s become easier for people to shoot and get their work out there, whether it be FLICKR or any other photography site. But picking up a camera and shooting doesn’t just make you a “photographer”, or does it? Film is the roots, and we know here that it’s an amazing feeling getting a roll of film back and looking at the shots. What do you enjoy? Let’s hear what you have to say. Comment here!
STAY IN TOUCH! WE LOVE YOU!

What is film?
I just looked up WIKIPEDIA and it all came back, the good old days. I remember setting up a darkroom in the laundry, developing the slides (transparencies) and playing around with the enlarger and all those toxic Cibachrome chemicals.
It was good in some ways but not as good as today with all the marvels of technology, the digital camera of today with many many custom settings together with Photoshop is so good. I can now take images at ISO 6400, unheard of in those film days.
I shoot both film and digital, although I shoot much more digital just because of the costs associated with shooting film. While digital is just dandy, there’s something about film that I don’t think digital will ever completely capture. I’d really love to shoot more film but can’t justify it on my budget.
Definitely film.
A lot of people dismiss film after only one or two times of even using it, either due to laziness or being unsuccessful the first time round but people really need to give film a chance and after they’ve fully experiemented with the outcomes of film maybe then they should judge. People are simply lazy now.
Film doesn’t have to be expensive. You can buy it in bulk, out of date or from £1 shops, sometimes out of date film gives a surreal effect, it’s all about experimentation.
There’s a lot of satisfaction when you process your own films and have a successful result.
