At age 7, I received my first still camera. It was a blue and yellow Fisher-Price 110 camera. Later, I spent my high school years as the photo editor of our yearbook, and many hours in the darkroom. My love of analog photography carried into my art school career, as well, but after graduating I somehow let that passion fall away. My return to photography in the last few years is meant as remedy for what I have been missing.
In a world comprised of impatience, artificial intelligence and digital imagery, I decided to take up film photography as my personal way of recording my life. My recent embrace of the photochemical process and the fragility of the analog film image is surely nostalgic, but also meaningful. 35mm photography was my first way of telling stories, and shooting pictures today continues to inspire all my other work. These are a curated glance at my 35mm and Medium Format photographs.
