Hi. It’s been a while. 

It’s my birthday. My real birthday. It comes only every 4 years and when I was little it meant so much more to me - but today, in the best way, has been ordinary. 

I woke up to sun through my window. It’s been pouring on and off for weeks and then the past week and a half - nothing but sun.

Do you ever shoot with film? I found a bag of 8 rolls of velvia 50 film in the back of my closet. I pulled out my old FM2 and have been shooting pictures. I'm amazed at how light the camera is compared to my DSLR! It's so freeing not to feel like there is a trade off between having my SLR with me and lugging something around. That said, there is also the trade off of having pictures in focus...lol.

I love shooting with film. It’s what I learned on. I like shooting on both however.

I am Malala (non-fiction)

The perks of being a Wallflower 

The Well of Loneliness
