Film. It is an adventure. One that both inspires and frustrates. There is so very much to learn, to digest, and to practice. It is all at once exciting and daunting and expensive.

But, I was lucky enough, early on in this adventure, to be taught by the guide of all guides, Jonathan Canlas. This October, I attended a FIND workshop in Charleston, SC. Jon is so completely accessible and his openness in turn made film photography, with all of its mind-bending technical variables, accessible to me. I left Charleston with so much knowledge, so many incredible relationships, and the confidence to go out and get better.

Shooting film makes me slow down, think, connect.

I am so happy to be finding film.
