FINDING CLARITY
THROUGH FILM
I’m drawn to the unpredictable process of shooting film. The thrill of waiting (sometimes months or years!) for developed negatives keeps me present for every shutter click. Each frame is intentional. It’s a pause… a way to reconnect with the world through a device handed down to me from generations long past… glass, metal, and memories.
In a culture obsessed with instant gratification, film photography brings us back to the ground, far away from doomscrolling and lightyears away from perfection. It’s a way to slow down and welcome unpredictability. My favorite features are the chance mistakes… a sun flare, discoloration from expired film, or snow that happens sporadically on old Polaroids. An ideal afternoon? Chasing the perfect image, off an unexpected subway stop, with a reclaimed camera in hand. My Instagram account documents a lot of these pieces of history.
