Week 23 | Newly Developed Rolls
One of the things I love about film, is how long between taking the photo and seeing the result can be. I like to wait until I have a few rolls stocked up before getting them developed. It gives me something to look forward to, but also saves the number of trips I have to make to the photo studio where I get them developed.
Week 22 | A Work In Progress
This week is a bit of a cop out. I haven't had the much creative energy this week, and most of what I'm excited about is a work in progress. Not wanting to come up empty handed, I figured I'd share a few photos from the project I'm putting together.
Week 21 | Linearity Is A Lie
