Photographers Edie Fogel and Misti Layne came together to create this blog and share their passion for film based photography. As we brain stormed about possible names for the site we came up with Film Impressions. The dictionary defines impressions as: an idea, feeling, or opinion about something or someone. Since the site would be a place for various photographers to come together, it seemed appropriate to have a name that honored their unique vision. During the process of making a photograph, that moment a photographer presses the button, becomes the defining moment. These moments become our impressions of how we see or interpret the world. It seemed to be indeed a great title choice for this blog dedicated to such a beautiful craft, film based photography and to the photographers who choose film as their medium. We hope this site will inspire you.

Artist ~ Hugh Shurley

My friend Joan invited me to the lecture by artist/photographer Hugh Shurley, part of Looking Glass's Summer Lecture Series.
He uses multi-layered photographic prints and objects to create rich in depth pieces that tell a story literally layer by layer. He prints his own images in his darkroom with his large collection of film negatives. It was quite an inspirational lecture. Here are a few of his images, to find more of his work and to learn more about his process, visit his website.
