INTENTIONALITY OF FILM PHOTOGRAPHY


LIVING IN THE MOMENT


For as long as I can remember, everything old always seemed better to me. I love flee markets, thrift stores, and my grandparents basement. Filled with treasures and well made things. Anything nostalgic that takes me to a time way back when excites my whole being. Old cars, clothes, music, the way of life, and a time where social media was nonexistent. A time where face to face interaction was really the only way to connect and talk to people. That's a reason why I love my job so much. Taking a photo on film gives me the sense... that I can somehow live in a time like that. A time that just seemed to be a whole lot simpler.


Film photography makes you appreciate the fleeting moments instead of taking a million pictures till you get a good one. It gives you the ability to capture a moment authentically and so much better than any iPhone. So, long story short, thank the Lord for 35mm.
