Large Format vs Medium Format: Which is Better for Capturing the Human Experience?

I've been thinking a lot about the relationship between photography and the human experience, and I keep coming back to the idea that the format you shoot in can drastically impact the kind of photos you take. Specifically, I'm looking at large format vs medium format. On one hand, large format cameras like the Deardorff Special give you an unparalleled level of detail and control, but they're often cumbersome and restrictive. On the other hand, medium format cameras like the Hasselblad 500C are more portable and versatile, but you sacrifice some of that detail and control. For me, the question is: which format is better suited to capturing the nuances and complexities of human experience? Is it the meticulous, deliberate process of large format, or the more spontaneous and flexible nature of medium format? I'd love to hear from others who have experience with both formats and can weigh in on this debate.

overrated film stocks

ngl dont get why ppl rave about portra 400 so much. shot a few rolls and its just ok imo. cant see the diff between it and superia

stop glorifying push processing

i've had enough of the push‑film hype everyone acts like cranking the ISO is some artistic breakthrough. it just flattens highlights, adds grain that
