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.

Inspiration

by Misti Layne

A couple of weeks ago I went to a seminar held by Joe Buissink and Yervant. Two very well internationally known wedding photographers. I was looking for a shot of inspiration and to see my friend Joe. I got inspired and I got a big hug from Joe. I highly recommend seeing them in the next few weeks if you can. I had dinner with them that night after the event along with Bambi Cantrell. She promised with the name Bambi she wouldn't make fun of my name after Joe swore when he introduced me that Misti Layne really was my name. This site was finally accomplished and numerous other things are in the works because of that day.

The idea of this blog/group happened almost two years ago and is now an actual work in process. I've been doing weddings for over a decade now and love it. I took my first photograph at 4 and haven't stopped since. I hope you get a dose of inspiration from the beautiful photography of photographers who are dedicated to film, the art of photography and the passion they have for what they do. Currently Edie and I are working on expanding this blog with other photographers with a penchant for film, links, articles and posts to great images and resources for film photography. We expect this group to become a great reserve of information and an outlet of what inspires us.

Always remember that whatever the question, love is the answer.
