More on me…
Since this site is firstly a place to display my photos, I’ll tell you about how and why I taken them. I received my first film camera as a hand-me-down from my late Uncle Tom. It’s a Pentax Zoom 90 WR, 100% of the photos on this site were taken with that camera! I have no idea if he ever used it, but thank you to Uncle Tommy.
Film has a quality I felt was terribly lacking in my digital photos. I dabbled in digital firstly with a basic point and shoot, then with a Canon DSLR. I was never completely satisfied with my images going digital. They were missing something! After receiving that Pentax, it wasn’t until I made the move from Orlando, Florida to Chicago, Illinois that I really started to use it. In Florida it was used only during trips or planned decorated outings and maybe some of those photos will make it here. Orlando isn’t all that picturesque, Chicago however, The City in a Garden is gorgeous in more ways than one.
Pivoting hard, mail, is another long-time obsession of mine. Yes, post, USPS, forever stamps, brown paper parcels, all of it. Postcards specifically are a growing of mine. I think old-fashion photo postcards are a big reason why I prefer Film as a medium. Once I began to picturing postcards in my photographs, it felt like a night and day difference in my pictures. Imagining using my own images as real postcards meant that there were too many to print, too many to write and not really enough, time, friends, or money to spend on custom printed cards of the quality I’d like most.
The natural conclusion, in our productivity-captialism-hell, seemed to be to print a handful of a few chosen photos and see if maybe I could convince a small group of people to make it worthwhile. Financially and purposefully.
A few people responded to a trial batch and I want to try again! Alongside maybe a few tables at local craft markets and the like. I think I could have a small self-sufficient hobby and I want to know what you think too!
I love Chicago, it’s the best city on Earth, it’s beautiful. it’s imperfect, it’s perfect, and I’m always trying to capture that.
If you’re wondering why the website is structured the way it is, it is because it is my website. I got a domain and everything. I’ve had a long time love-hate relationship with the internet, with social media addiction fuels much of the distaste. This will be an unrestricted place to put my thoughts and images all together like an evolving time capsule. No doom scrolling, no irrelevant posts or ads, and Absolutely No overstimulation. My Safe Space ^.^ There photos I want to share, writings I want to publish, and cards I want to sell! Who know what the future holds.
Thank you for reading, or buying, or browsing. It’s very freaking sweet to know people like you exist.
