Back in 1996 in my mid-thirties after publishing DISTANCE, a high-contrast B&W photo book, there was a stretch when I was shooting with both B&W negative and positive color films. After a while I encountered negative color films and naturally, I said goodbye to B&W and positive films. Recently I found a lot of positive films from those days that I had forgotten about and I cut out the frames that I thought were good and set them aside as my first check, and now that I couldn’t find those shots preliminary checked as the important ones, I thought that maybe it was destined to happen. So, moving forward I copied the remaining photos with a digital camera. It is this body of works that I call “My Ektachrome” that I produced by adjusting the faded colors to my favorite color profile in Photoshop just like my handmade darkroom color prints.

I've been shooting on film and printing in the darkroom for decades. These days the increasing prices and the difficulties in finding my favorite film and photographic paper in addition to how demanding the darkroom printing process is; long hours and physical and mental effort. And recently when wondering about my age and the near future, I thought of the possibility of switching to a digital camera from now on. But then again while editing this new book, I felt that after all, the silver gelatin prints are great great. I decided that I will use film a while longer. Koji Onaka
