Taking pictures with a film camera is an exciting endeavor. You never really know what you are going to get. Each role of film is a precious thing, something you want to cherish and use carefully. Film costs money, getting them developed cost money, buying new batteries cost money. So when I get the pictures back and they aren't what I was hoping for I am filled with a sad sense of failure. But when I get them back and they are crisp and unique, I feel accomplished. My journey was not for naught. I didn't wake up to catch the sunrise for nothing. I didn't make my roommate pull over the car for nothing. I didn't stand in the same position for five minutes just to get the right face for nothing.
There is a lot of risk involved, but in the end, when I get pictures like the ones below, it makes it all worth it.
I like to post the pictures without words to interrupt them so that when you look through them it an experience. You come with me on the adventures I went on to get these shots. This collection is not in order of how they were taken or where they were taken, but rather how I feel they flow best. The pictures are not incredible and I do not claim to be any sort of photographer, but each picture is a story and it can be whatever story your see or want to see in it. So good luck and enjoy the view. (:
