"In all things of nature there issomething of the marvelous." -Aristotle
In May, my family went to Lauritzen Gardens to celebrate Mother's Day. My mother-in-law loves this place and has made us huge fans as well. My little man really liked the water displays he could dip his fingers into. He really wished he could've just jumped in. Thankfully, we left with a dry child. Parenting award to us! Whoop-whoop! I wanted to share with you a little piece of my film journey. Everyone's journey, whatever they're on, is different. Different outcomes. Different goals. Different hopes and dreams. Different. I am grateful for mine so far. I've learned so much and still am. I've slowly realized what my dad ingrained in me: "Never stop learning!" is a part of my being. Straight down to my soul. Some people may wonder why I'm experimenting with film. My answer is: Why not?! Its another photography medium to dabble with. But, I also love the depth of color. How in the moment I can be. I'm not worrying about my camera settings by looking at the back of my screen and maybe even trying again for another shot. I am able to take my time. Observe more. Breathe more. Relax and enjoy my family more. Also, the editing time is SO much less than shooting digital. These photos I'm sharing, I didn't even do any editing! Does that mean I'm going to start shooting film all the time? No, not at this time. But the more I feel confident with shooting with my family's pictures, the more brave I would feel shooting your family's pictures. These photographs I'm sharing with you are from two separate times. Two separate cameras. And two separate experiences. The second batch of photos, I actually had to rewind the film back up and finish it in another camera because my camera was being dramatic. Ugh! That was a new experience. Do I make mistakes? Oh, you betcha! Plenty. Keep scrolling to see a few...I don't mind sharing.
Thanks for being here! I hope you enjoy!
These four photos below are what powers me to keep trying, learning, and experimenting. These are a few of my failures. Failures lead to results, right? I'm okay with failures. Just not TOO many.
