It’s crazy to think where this whole thing started. My little brother was really the tipping point that got me into analog photography in the first place. What started as something I was just curious about turned into a journey that’s taken me way further than I ever expected.

Film has taught me to slow down, get out of my comfort zone, and actually pay attention to the little things. There’s something about having only a few frames on a roll that makes you look at the world differently. You start noticing the light, the people, the places, and the moments that might otherwise pass you by.

Along the way, this little hobby has taken me to some pretty rad places and introduced me to some even radder people. Friends I’ve met through photography, friends I’ve been able to connect with, and people I’ve been lucky enough to start this photo journey alongside. Some of my favorite memories these last two years have come from simply grabbing a camera, heading somewhere, and seeing where the day takes me.

I’ve also been lucky enough to learn from so many people, especially my father in law, who’s basically been my film sensei through this whole thing. From teaching me how to develop my own film, helping me understand composition, building my knowledge of film, and showing me the ropes with all kinds of cameras, he’s played a huge part in getting me to where I am today.

Two years in and I still feel like I’m just getting started. Still learning. Still missing shots. Still buying cameras I probably don’t need. Still chasing that one frame.

Mostly, I’m just grateful. Grateful for my little brother for being the spark, for my father in law and everyone else who’s taken the time to teach me, and for every friend, road trip, camera, roll of film, and random adventure that’s come from it.

My light meter said “my time has come🐢” once it saw the rain. At least it died somewhere cool.

Every roll has a few shots left over. Sometimes I need to switch rolls halfway through. Either way, somehow they always end up being of my wife. 💙
