this camera was really tough and cumbersome to use, but anyone who has taken a 6x7 photo understand how fun it is to look at all of the detail in the negative. unfortunately, i broke the camera shortly after, so this is one of the few photos i have from that time.

i often shoot with expired film stock on 16mm because it's much less expensive, but it comes at a risk (or in my eyes, a benefit) of unexpected surprises - low contrast, desaturated colors, more film grain, and as witnessed here, emulsion that becomes stuck to the film itself.

though i've been in the biggest creative rut i've ever experienced, i'm grateful that i still have some energy within me, however small, to put forth these images and words together and share them with the @zero________one community. thanks for the motivation to make again.
