Browsing archives again aka my very disorganized hard drive that no matter how many ways I organize it it just never feels right — from March 2023

This photo reminds me of something but I can’t put my finger on what. Another artist?? Another similar photo??? Not sure

Found rummaging in my Lightroom app

Many moons ago with the most beautiful Zoe …we met as she was a customer at the film lab I used to work at and this was our first time hanging out, a few days after meeting

I miss taking pictures of people I know and love or grow to know and love thru the connection portraiture brings </3

From today in the darkroom…..printing from a very expired roll that I tucked away in my negative binder bc I didn’t think too much of her. But forcing myself to slow down and look back, I found several gems that I love so much. I have found the most joy in expired film….printing and shooting❤️

First photo is my collage and clown wall (warms my heart in a way that I cannot put exact words to), mirror selfie is from thanksgiving in moody beach, and other selfie is with the skull of a squirrel I collected from my backyard

Can’t get myself to post “instagramable” content anymore and I’m very happy with that

I miss freely shitposting my art on here. Now I have too much mind. Here is my most recent collage where I tried many new things…..last slide is a failed video of me trying to show the movement element the collage has

I have been obsessed with the girl in the picture for months and finally found where she belongs in my collection

Materials off the top of my head:
Hops
Lavender
Marigolds
A ring from my aunt when she was young
Fuzzy string from thrift
My favorite textured paper
Birch from my neighbors yard
Cactus
Beads
Lambs ear
Pressings from homemade stamps that Eben and I carved together

Emily and Poptart.
Emily in Motion.
Hasselblad 500CM
Kodak Trix 400

This was our first time shooting together and I could not of asked for a better experience. We played, we got weird, we encouraged each other to try something new, and made art doing it. Hope you like what we share, we certainly do.

So many things to say…first off….check the bio….learn how to develop your own roll of film with me!!!! 🧑🏻‍🔬🧪🎞️

Since starting this account and working in a film lab so many people have reached out wondering if I offer any sort of classes on developing and well…now I do!!! :^). Check out the link in my bio for a full outline of details and reach out! :)

I’ve been wanting to do this for so.fucking.long. and I’m nervous to put myself out there but overcome with excitement in getting to connect with people over this! Processing my own film opened so many new artistic avenues for me and I want to share that with others.

A few hours ago, as I was working out the logistics of this, I realized it’s the 3 year anniversary of when I first made this account like wtf. Instagram is meaninglessssssss but the connections I’ve made thru this account are not!!! I love all my friends I’ve met thru here so so much and appreciate u all endlesslyyyyyy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Last pic is me cheesing so hard on the day I bought my first TLR. A little over a year ago now ….how far we have come since then! <3
