doublecappuccino. today is your day. your fotos speak to me. if you love variety, yet originality, then doublecappucino will make you smile with appreciation. otherwise known as seth restaino, from san francisco. the Holga CFN, Lomo, Leica M6, Nikon FE, Nikon D700, are just a few of the cameras from doublecappuccino's extensive collection. i know quite a few photographer's, who collect a wide range of vintage cameras (including myself), but not many whom actually shoot with them. the mere fact that seth still spends the time, and the money invested in film, shows pure devotion to the format. all of you, who actually shot before the digital era, know this to be true. many will argue, that digital is "up to par" with film now, if not better. personally, i don't care. i think they both have their pro's and con's. regardless, there is just something intimate about shooting film. maybe it's the before hand thought process, like, "will i be shooting during the day or at night, will the light change, are there vibrant colors to be captured, is the subject still or moving, etc. etc. Or, maybe, you're like me, and you enjoy the hands-on dark room processing,  a lot more than sitting in front of the computer....... whatever your film fetish may be, i'm sure you get where i'm coming from. with that said, doublecappucino will "turn you on," with his personal style. roaming the streets of san francisco, new york, or wherever he maybe, he is photographing everything he sees. beauty in all forms. an unprocessed depiction of life.  one moment, you're at home enjoying the simpler things with family, next, you're crossing the busy city streets, while dodging cyclists and other pedestrians, in order to make it to the office on time, and then, later, skating in the park and hanging with friends. different people, doing different things, in different places, yet it's all the same, because of just that. a personal journey. this one is through the eyes, or lens you could say, of a very talented artist. everyday, in an anything but ordinary way, is what seth's images reveal. however, i have to say, having such a gorgeous family to photograph, does cut you some slack dude. haha. no, but seriously, thank you and your art. today is your day here.
