As I’m sitting down to write this post, I’m realizing how much better I like taking photographs than I do writing. Getting the right thoughts from my head to written form is not my strength, but I will give it my best shot….
This set of images that I’ve posted is part of a personal project that I’m participating in with several other talented photographers and friends. My friend Shannon, who came up with the idea, wanted to take images throughout one day, and in her words “embrace the crazy” and capture those things that we often miss over the course of day to day life. Especially since starting to shoot film, I have had a strong desire to shoot more personal work, and explore more deeply how to see my world. So, on the 10th of each month, I will be posting 10 images from one single day during the previous month.
This time, I chose to take pictures on a lazy Sunday afternoon spent out on our land. I’ve posted pictures that I’ve taken out there before, but this time, I shot with a Holga and a Yashica Mat on HP5, and with the goal in mind to get some images to print and frame in our future home out there (I also decided to give my kiddos a break). I love the variety of results you can get from different cameras. In case you are not familiar, the Holga is a toy camera, and the Yashica is a little twin lens waist level finder model. This was the first time I’ve gotten either one out. I’m already itching to get out and shoot more.
