Why I shoot film
I’m enamored by the variety and manual work of film. I couldn’t stick to just one film or one film camera (I have over 10!) which is exactly like my spontaneous nature. Shooting film gives me the chance to trust my instincts, my hands, and to begin conversation with curious people. You bring a film camera, and suddenly everyone wants their photo taken. That excitement is a breath of fresh air!
