Grumpy Bear

Another of the idiosyncrasies of still using film (especially professional side film) is that once you put a roll in the camera you need to use the entire roll and process it in a short amount of time. Shoot half a roll of film one day and the other half a few weeks later and your images start to get strange colour shifts. Although I only get 10 shots on a 120 roll of film and 21 shots on a 220 roll of film I am still often left with a few frames left on the camera when I get back home. Rather than waste the film, I usually take a few photographs of the dogs as they are always available and work for dog treats. Bear, however, does not smile for the camera. In fact, Bear only seems to stare grumpily at me until she gets her snack. The perils of being a photographer’s dog.
