I finally got some film developed! Towards the end of summer 2016, I wanted to experiment a bit more with photography, so I bought some cheap film from Amazon and just started snapping around. I approached this with a different mindset than had I taken these photos with my DSLR. Though I had to put more thought into each photo (there are only 24 shots in a roll and developing isn't cheap), I set my mind to capturing the world around me as I saw it.
There is something so beautifully raw about photographing with film, and in a way I loved not being able to instantly see the end result. Of course I was naturally curious as to what it would look like, but it helped me focus on the photographing process itself, as well as living in the moment instead of obsessively trying to capture it. I would've gotten these done before summer had ended, but I procrastinated and didn't end up getting these two rolls developed until nearly seven months after I took the photos (which is bad, I know).
I definitely want to keep shooting film and trying out new films and techniques this upcoming summer, so I'm really excited to see how that will turn out. I'll be putting the rest of this set of photos into a portfolio I'm putting together and maybe my Flickr.
