Great images Juan.
Very photogenic couple which helps a ton. I also noticed you developed the images yourself, hats off for doing that too as they look brilliant.
Keep it going mate!!

WOWZA! These rock & it rocks EVEN MORE that you developed them!!! SNIPPEYS! That's awesome!!! The bws are phenominal!!!!
Gorgeous. So... Jon. Part of what I really love is the way she places her legs. Lovely use of light, lovely images. Just so... Jon!
Maybe I missed it but what is your reasoning to stay with film?
I agree with everyone else that your images rock! I'm going to have to memorize some of those positions you had the couple in. Very creative!
But I don't see a difference between your film camera and all the digital cameras out there. You could have gotten the same result at a fraction of the time and a fraction of the cost. It seems like you're adding more work for yourself in this digital world of ours.
Just curious.

why do i stick with film? for the look feel of it. flat out.
you mentioned it would be faster with digital, maybe in the fact that they are released to the client sooner but, editing is a basic keep/delete most of these are straight out of camera.
as far as a fraction of the price. i have my own developer (noritsu qsf v30 sm - now that is a foreign language!) and i have my own scanner (fuji frontier sp2500). i'm not going to go into details but what LITTLE money i spend is worth it to me for mainly the look and secondly the absence of myself having to be in front of a computer...
nothing wrong with digital at all. film is just what works for me and i'm completely dedicated to it.
thanks for all the kind words!

those are amazing! I l
These are gorgeous. I love that they are simple but not boring. That's awesome you used film you developed yourself.
The first thing that jumped out at me was how minimalist these are!!! I think it makes them just pop and the couple almost jumps off the page. But not with flashy contrast or over-saturation, just nice peacful, gorgeous images. Very nice. And that's all I have to say about that... 
Awesome style...keep it up!!!

So how much does the V-30 go for these days? I used to service these in my Noritsu days & these are built to last!
Although you and Rick are both right in your opinions, Digital is better for me...but seeing your images and those of Jose Villa, another film shooter, there is a certain"umph" that film has that is missed in digital.
This, to me, is similar to listening to an LP on a good stereo system. If you were to compare an old-school LP (let's pick Led Zeppelin as a reference point) then contrast this by listening to the CD, a certain warmth is lost.
Honestly, my records only collect dust as I prefer digital media for convenience. I chose to stay with digital cameras for the same reason and more, but there is a certain something to your images, particularly the 1st one, that is hard to reproduce digitally....and the work this takes to reproduce this look is already there for you.
Having your own V-30 and scanner is pretty cool.
Nice work!
No critique, I think they're sick! Especially the color shots in the grassy field with the train in the b/g.
Great captures! A very mod couple! And you're right the guy is totally GQ.
I don't know what i like better... the fact you shot them well or the fact you didn't f$@k with them in post processing..... HANA HO!

The light in the first image is to die for.
Agreed with all here, these are awesome. Really like the poses and the first one in the grass is just beautiful. But because, and ONLY because you asked for critique, I have to say I think the cropped head in a couple of the shots (mainly #11) is just a bit too much. That image captured an awesome, smiley moment between them and the crop seems to take a bit of that away putting more focus on their hands (which I'm guessing is probably what you wanted though). Anyway, my photography experience is probably only a fraction of yours so take my *critique* for what it's worth..lol
