At 16, I bought an old film camera and used my school's canon lenses to take photos for personal use. The following began a project of capturing people, memories and places dear to my heart. Truly made with my blood and sweat, I learned the process of developing film and purchased a darkroom bag and developer tank to process my own images. This hands on approach to film photography made me relish and savor these moments all the more.
