“It was a great peace, as if the earth had been one grave, and for a time I stood there thinking mostly of the living…”

Yes, that’s right, I’m running a contest.
(it’s summer and I’m happy)

I’m giving away 50 rolls of 35mm Kodak Tri-X 400 B&W film (36 frames/roll) to the person who can show me – in a single image – why he/she loves film.
This of course is open to wide interpretation. In essence, I’m looking for an image that emotionally moves me, because you were inspired by the medium (as well as the subject matter) when you created it.

That’s it!
Now, you may have noticed that in the contest image above (taken on my driveway this morning ;)) there are ten rolls to a pack, and there are ten packs, so that should equal 100 rolls of film. However, 50 of them will automatically be given to my friend Mark Ewanchuk — just for being a good guy :).

I’ll send it to you via post mail, anywhere in the world. Or, if you can make your way down to Toronto, I’ll hand-deliver it to you and buy you a cup of coffee 🙂

Let me know if there are any questions, otherwise, let the games begin!
