Documentary - Graffiti Wall

This photograph was captured using my Pentax ME 35mm film camera and Ilford XP2 Super black and white film. This image is from one of the first rolls of film I used and I instantly found a connection with film and using film cameras. It has become one of my favourite mediums of photography and  I enjoy loading my film camera and being excited about the prospects of the images I will capture. There is a quality to film that I really like, in particular black and white film. It feels like getting back to basics, slowing things down photographically and creating each photograph before actually physically taking it. I shot this image in a small town in Italy I frequently visit. I used this work as part of a series of documentary images from the town, sand I feel this showcases one of the many places I found which where interesting and striking.
