adventures in film photography / year one

almost exactly a year ago

i stumbled upon a seemingly small blessing

(yet a blessing just the same).

a rummage sale,

a vintage, mismatched, heavy old camera,

three dollars.

i've always been a fan of analog.

the grain,

the texture,

the focus and leaks.

though seeming more elite,

a bit unattainable at the time.

but i found it randomly,

(or rather

it found me.)

countless online articles, little discoveries

and a free light meter app later,

a first roll of film

twenty four manual exposures

excitement, apprehension, confusion.

by that first set of prints, i was hooked.

now there are three wonderful cameras;

each with different meanings,

different strengths and weekends.

ten envelops full of prints in a drawer.

a roll in a purse, waiting to be dropped off

an online album with almsot 200 images

here's to a year of capturing memories on film.
it's been delightful, its been a blessing,
and i can't wait to see where it takes me next.
