Digital photography is, in almost every way, tops. It is cheaper, easier, and the gratification is so deliciously instant. But sometimes digital photography can be a bit too... perfect.
That's why this is my new favorite flickr group. The group is all pictures of noise, dust, and distortion that people have captured through their viewfinders. When you apply them to a digital photograph, it can give them some of the texture and earthiness of film.
The atmosphere and mood that this shot already had is enhanced by the shadowy corners and uneven, bleeding edge of the frame. Turns out all that time I spent cleaning and taking care of my lenses was a total waste of time.
