I loved this! I also enjoy looking back at creative work and seeing the themes and subjects I continually return to. Reading this reminded me so much of the work of the poet Bernadette Mayer and her one month photography project where she used one roll of film everyday in July 1971 along with a detailed journal of each day. I’m obsessed with the intimacy and everydayness of her images and writing and think you would also love her! I can’t wait for part 2!

It’s so much fun and also humbling to know I’ve been circling the same themes my whole life lol and omg just checked her out—she is amazing!! What an incredible project. I must get one of her books! Thank u for telling me about her!

loved this so much!! from another photographer and someone who also switched from digital to film and gradually found it so much more emotionally rewarding and eye opening to the beauty of mundane things, your essay said so many things that have been circulating around my mind too. I’ve been following your work on instagram for quite a while and always enjoyed your photos for their candidness, for how they portray life just as it is and all the seemingly insignificant scenes that you have such a great eye for, because they show that you really pay attention to the world around you. I’m excited for part two of this!!

Wow!! Thank you so much!! It’s amazing how different the film eye vs the digital eye is! There’s always so much to dissect with photography!

I love your “simple pleasures” photos — I often find myself taking my own. This inspired me to dust off the film cameras I was gifted a few years ago and give it a go.
