So Long Summer

My last roll of film of the summer...and what a beautiful one it was. I don't know if I could ever ask for a more adventure filled summer than the one I just had. I spent the long light days in Portland, California, Texas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin with my camera and good people. I woke late, stayed up late, and spent the days as I pleased. There's nothing better then a hot Carmel Valley day at the river, my Portland backyard with the pup and a beer, an outdoor concert, windows down, hands in the air... Now I welcome seasons change as I start getting out my fur jackets, wool socks, leggings, pleather, and beanies. I can feel a change in my life coming on. I'm not sure where this fall will lead me, but I'm ready for it.

For the longest time I've had a growing folder in my computer labeled "forgotten film files." I've been wanting to organize or find a home for these memories, to make them come alive again, and I think this is the perfect spot. They aren't all in focus, in order, or extraordinary, but they are dear to me just the same. 

All shot with varying 35mm cameras and disposables. 

I always have a disposable camera on me. We often underestimate the raw beauty such a bare and basic camera can bring to life.
