Community and friendships are so important. I’ve been thinking about that a lot and making more of an effort to push down my social anxiety and meet new people; online and in person.
After joining the photo walk in Appleton with Photo Opp - Appleton and Justin Allen I immediately hit up my friend down in the Chicago area and just made the time.
Life is too short to not make the time to find new friends and spend time with the old ones.
I blew through several rolls down in the Chicago and Willmette area with the Wardflex TLR that was generously gifted to me by one of my new friends O'Laf. I’m honestly having so much fun shooting square and with a waist level viewfinder.
I did a new development process for these and I like how they turned out. 510-Pyro 1+200 semi stand.
ILFORD PHOTO Kentmere 100 medium format.
Scanned without a hood which means light spill. But this is just for IG. We can fix it later.

I spend a lot of time worried that my photos “aren’t ready” or that they won’t resonate with anybody else.
That’s a lot of wasted time. Time I could have spent shooting more photos.
I’m starting to care a lot more about whether or not I feel like I hit my mark instead of someone else’s after I review my shots.
This set hits my mark. Warts and all for the time being.
