First attempt at Redscale film





Anytime my brother comes to visit we always end up buying film together and talking about cameras and grand ideas we have for photos.  He always inspires me and encourages me to continue shooting for fun.  He continues to shoot with film even though the rest of the world is enamored by digital.  Film is just magical.  I know that sounds hokey but it's true I can't think of another way to describe it.  Developing this roll of film was the first time I have seen a physical print in my hands for years.  Holding these prints in my hands reminded me why I fell in love with photography in the first place and  how meaningful is it to have a portrait/print given to you by a good friend.  A good friend challenged me to combine my strength of empathy with my photography and asked me what that might look like... I'm not quite sure yet but I have some ideas.  :)  Film and physical prints will be apart of the process so stay tuned!

Also I will be posting some promo shots for my roomie Kelly Condron soon!  Here is a quick look of some in process:
