Good photographer. Great sense of humor too. Yeah, i could see Cass shooting lots of formats, but mainly b/c she’s probably NOT a camera junkie and just likes lots of variations.

She's very experimental with her equipment, which keeps her work from becoming routine. And her pictures are great. That sounds a lot like Cass Bird, actually.

I don't like composing an image with a 35mm viewfinder. My 35mm cameras all have 4x5 crop marks to help me visualize my final cropping. I love square and the other large/medium format aspect ratios (even 645 is at the point of being a little too "wide" for me). Conversely, I love panoramic formats. I've also never really liked 35mm camera bodies. I like the speed (lack of actually) of larger formats. I know it may sound silly, but I just can’t stand the 35mm aspect ratio, hate it frankly.

Yeah, I always forget most photogs are total gear nerds. “Camera junkies like Sam Jones and Martin Schoeller shoot 3 or more formats.

If the CD wants we can scan the one and twos but I'll push to not include others. The editor will only see the layout and not have an opportunity to prove that he's a visual retard. yeah I’m going to push for the 2 stars only and sun with two stars as the opener when I show to the CD.

Was always a Leica shooter. Shot loads and loads of medium-format for magazine portraits. Tried shooting MF for my aerials, never felt right. Tried shooting 4x5 for portraits. That was fun, but not me. I shoot best when I'm shooting with a M body or a DSLR. It's funny, since the 17MP cameras are basically MF quality, that is more than enough for most clients and the intended usage. Now that Leica has a digital camera that is 14 bit capture, I can get a stunning file that is perfect for reproduction. Glad to hear that people are still using film. I did a shoot recently where the client wanted to rush the film and they were surprised I was shooting digital. They thought my images looked like film. It's funny, I recently shot a portrait and took the big rig with loads of scrims, lights, high MP camera, etc. Just for grins, I shot a roll of Tri-X in a M body and that was what was chosen. Simple shot, a lot of grain and a nice feel. I grew up on 35mm. Was always a Leica shooter. Shot loads and loads of medium-format for magazine portraits.

I don't think it's that rare with actual working photogs, especially those out of the 80s when it was the staple format for a lot of catalog shooters and fashion guys etc. Underrated format. You just better know what you're doing when the repro sizes get bigger than full page, b/c a shitty neg will show it's flaws quick. But a tight well shot 35mm neg has a special quality to it, a bite. who the hell shoots 3 formats on each shot, let alone on the same job!?! that’s retarded.

I admit I often use two but anymore than that makes editing more difficult. 35 is mostly what I use nowadays. those carl zeiss lenses are nice. also the sort of quick snapshot aesthetic has a realness people can comfortably relate to in todays world of short attention spans and reality tv.
