this past fall i decided i needed something new.  something to scratch that creative itch and get inspired again to shoot.  not sure if it was the best timing with heading into gloomy days and minimal hours of daylight, but i bought a film camera.  and thanks to an amazing film expert friend, i was on my way.  simple right?  well, more like super intimating and new and scary and to be honest..expensive!

a workshop and tons of researching later…here i am.  feeling pretty clueless and a little discouraged at the moment, but hey…i am going to commit to something new.  my 2016 goal is to pick up my film camera daily or as often as i can and posting my scans each week.  they will not be perfect, they will not be edited but they will be me learning and me trying.  and i think that is a good start.

so here we go.  week 1 of 52.  i was successful with picking up my camera daily (yay!) but i wasn’t thrilled with any of the images (partly because time of year partly my metering was off) but i spent the second week in california which has a lot more sunlight and color and have my fingers crossed that i was a bit more successful…if not, this might be a short lived project!
