I used to actually teach Photoshop. I decided one day to try and do whatever I taught "for real" so to speak. It takes me forever, but I find that getting my hands dirty with pigments, glue and ink is more enjoyable and, in a way, truer to the nature of photography.

Christophe Dillinger, swirls

I paint and mark strips of paper that I stick on 120 films in a lightproof bag. I then use the modified film as I would ordinary film, only I do the light metering with a 1 to 3 stops discrepancy, depending on the paper I use.
