Photographer Tom Gillen shares his shots taken the old fashioned way, on film.

 

There was a time, not so long ago, when pictures required a trip to the local drug store for processing and not a glance on the camera screen to see if it was a keeper.

Photographer Tom Gillen decided to dust off his Canon AE-1 from 1986, given to him by his father, and shoot on black and white 35mm film.

"It takes a lot more attention to detail when shooting with film since there is no instant feedback or previews of your photo, but the results are photographs that look like they could have been taken 25 years ago," said Gillen.  "I love it."
