Analog Photography: Chicago

My trusty Leica and I took a trip to Chicago.

The shots in this article were all shot on my Leica M6 and I used black and white film — mainly Pan F 50 speed and Tmax 400.

I love candid shots with film.

I also love shooting textures and structural pieces with film. It can really show the film grain and give off a classic look.

Another thing I try to shoot when traveling is street style shots of the area. I think capturing tags, graffiti, and other city elements help me to remember the trips I get to take.

I really enjoyed the lines and symmetry in this shot of the light falling on the stairs.

Here is another structural shot I really liked.

Shooting film in Chicago was a blast, and limiting myself to only black and white was a fun challenge. I'll let the article end with a few more shots.
