>>7677065I have a Lomo Diana F+, a Pronto 600 and a decade old DSLR. The only photo I've taken that's survived is picture related.
Unfortunately, I do not have any technical advice to give regarding the analog look, except maybe trying to use an old camera lens, but I guess you've already though about it, since it can give a somewhat closer result - I think that there's no way to get a really similar result without analog itself. So, what I can do is give a subjective point of view. I live in Italy, a very rural part of it, in fact I'm surrounded by fields. I like solitude. I guess that solitude is what may link where I live and how I see it to where you live - which I understand is NY - and how you see it. So, that's what I like, that kind of unopinionated solitude which one may even call relaxed or happy. I would like to see some of the landscapes of where I live on film, and I hope that I'll be able, someday, to take that couple of photos, exactly how I want them. So, coming to the subjective point of view, other photos that I've seen which gave me the same feelings come from 1980's pictures taken in the USA by Fernando Scianna (like the "famous" one of the palm reading and tarot store) and the early Noah Kalina works, which I think he deleted from his site (which is still well worth a visit, in my opinion) or, maybe, since it's been a handful of years since I've seen those pictures the first time, I may see them now right in front of me and respond differently emotively, in turn non recognizing them.
On another note, which I think is just a psychological reflex, I really like the combination of solitude and something that looks old time-y, like
>>7676478. It might have been taken yesterday, but my mind is just sure it comes from the 80's or even 70's. I don't know how to exactly pinpoint it.
