We got dressed up all fancy and went to a ball…
It was a good night. That lasted until the next morning
11-15-13 . Pentax 67 . Nikon One Touch . Polaroid 250 Land Camera . TriX 400 . Fuji FP3000 . developed and scanned at home, like ninjas I didn’t take the pictures of myself, Jesse did. And we paid the digital prom picture guy to take a polaroid of us in front of his backdrop, it’s kinda blurry but he liked holding the camera.
I can’t possibly express how thankful I am for our friendship with this family and our adventures together. We have learned so much from them, about family, about photography, about life. Every time we visit them on the mountain our souls are refueled. Our kids call it their mountain, and it is a glorious one. I never could have dreamed up the adventures, accidents, fun and bits of life we have come to share, and I am so thankful. I am also terrified to share images that I have made with them. The more I forge into film the more I realize the vastness of all I have to learn. These photos are far from perfect. But I made them on a piece of film inside of a heavy old camera that I dragged around a mountain with kids running everywhere. Then my husband developed them in our friend’s sink and I scanned and edited them at home. They are tangible and real. As imperfect as they are, they are the only way I could come close to doing justice to these moments. I will continue to work, striving to improve as I make images on film, and as I do I will share this journey. It’s not one I had to think about, it’s one I have to take. Spring 2013 .
