Description
After months of collecting dust in my closet, I decided to bust out my Minolta SRT and take it to Stone Groove last Tuesday night at the Vagabond. Where my D-40 failed, this bad boy just proved that sometimes old fossils are better than new gizmos. I fucking love black and white film photography. I'm definitely going to continue using this for a while.Related content

As do I but I sadly don't have access to a darkroom right now. I use the same minolta body you're holding in your ID pic. What equipment do you use, in general?

I used to use the darkroom in my school, but since I switch my major I don't have access to it anymore. Currently I Walgreens and Wolf Camera develop and scan my film until I can get access to a darkroom again.
Equipment? I shoot digital with a Nikon D40 with a standard 50mm lens which isn't all that great. I'm trying to get a new one. Film, I shoot with the Minolta SRT-100 I'm holding in my picture and a Minolta X-700 that I borrowed from a friend. The X-700 is the camera on the floor in that same picture. I have a few macro lenses for my minoltas but I don't make much use of them. I shoot mostly with a 50mm lens. I also have two umbrella lights for studio shoots. That's about all I have. lol

Thank you. I really think so too. B&W film is definitely much more emotional and dramatic sometimes.

my first reaction was 
the shot is absolutely amazing. the focus, angle and lighting are simply breathtaking at it comes from a guy who dislikes b&w photography.
I am absolutely flabbergasted with that image.
Thanks you so much for posting it!!!
