If there's one thing I've felt incredibly strongly about lately, it's that I really just want to make a picture. I want to shoot film and snap some photos. I am just itching to get my hands on a camera and start clicking away. It's an addiction.
I feel like part of that passion comes from how I've been feeling lately about myself, life, and things.
Sometimes I feel a bit down. But there are so many positive things going for me right now that it's difficult to dwell on the negatives. Over the past several months, I've been battling with negatives left and right. It's incredible how much I have gone through. I've become a stronger person and have really bonded with a great group of friends.
I've grown incredibly attached to the darkroom, especially over the last several days. I am craving printing. I am craving taking photographs. I can't wait until I shoot my next roll. I can't wait to light it. I can't wait to shoot it. I can't wait to print it. I want to live, breathe, and eat film.
I just never get sick of it. How is that even possible?
Life is just a lifelong film. Sometimes I feel as though I'm in a reality tv-show. Things spin by in 24-frames per second. Nature is backlit by the sun. We are creating these mental photographs one step at a time. We laugh, we cry, we feel nothing at all. Life is so beautiful.
I want to capture this on film.
But perhaps, it will take a lifetime to capture this lifelong film. All I know is that I want to shoot film forever. I feel helpless without it.
