This is the very first roll of film I took on my Canon AE1! I haven’t shot film since high school (has it really been more than 10 years!?) and I feel this excitement in my bones for it. This first roll was hard for me, every click of that shutter felt like such a huge deal for someone who is used to shooting thousands of frames a day. My perfectionism definitely got in the way of me shooting anything for a while. I’m slowly getting over that barrier and can’t wait to shoot more and more! Film just feels so special.
Film – Kodak Porta 400
Location – Brooklyn + Sarah’s cabin in upstate NY
(any ideas why this first photo turned out like this? I kind of love it.)

Next stop – Melissa’s wedding! I will practice restraint and shoot one roll. We’ll see how that goes.
Cheers!
