Eli Sanem Karakoc's photos have a quiet, sad quality to them. Her photos are like something you once lost but still hold onto.
Check out her series "Silent Death". This woman does the most amazing things with B&W film. It's photographers like these that make me want to throw my digital SLR into a giant crevasse and physically sew a film camera to my hip. What's better, he has 216 pages in her Flickr photostream. Bonus for anyone looking for a way to while away some time by plunging headfirst into beautiful photos of quiet analog moments.
P.S. Last few days to enter the giveaway! I've realised that the 9th is the 1 year anniversary of my blog, so might as well end it on that day.

Hahaha woops! My bad, always though Eli was a male name. Thanks for the heads up. :-)
These are really beautiful! They do have sort of a sad quality to them.

pretty amazing <3 those panoramic shots of the birds are especially nostalgic, makes me want to drive to the beach right now & spend my whole day looking at the birds fly freely. she captures such beautiful emotions!
Composition would be very difficult with the camera sewn to your hip. Also, dressing stylishly would be much harder.
What's stopping you from shooting film now?
I bought an old film slr for $15. It was fantastically leaky:
