Hey

So, I'm 40. Still live in a triad. Worked as a newspaper reporter for four years, really got into film photography, got laid off, and now work as a software tech writer.

How are you all?

Of film

When I noted I had really gotten into film, I meant.... like, a lot.

I have about 20 film cameras, in 120 and 135 format. I shoot black and white and develop it in my sink. This photo was taken with a 108-year-old camera. You cannot get an older camera that shoots currently manufactured film.

I've found it an incredibly meditative process. I'm not constantly snapping photos of things. I've learned to slow down and compose. I've also learned that I really only need one or two photos from an event, not 200.
