In this chapter I am going to dig a little deeper into the results of my nonsense endeavour. I will show you some of the images I have obtained while searching for a photographic style. I will discuss the differences between shooting film and digital, and how grateful I am, as film photography has changed my perception of the world surrounding me.

I work as a microscopist in life sciences at the University of the Basque Country, in Bilbao, Northern Spain. I started using microscopes in 1993, while doing my PhD in the field of Cell Biology. Back then, we totally relied on film in order to capture the scientific discoveries observed under the microscope. And this was not an easy task by any means.
