I feel like it has been forever since I have posted on here. And now that I think about it, it has. There is a lot to catch up on but I will keep it to the photography realm.

I am back in Los Angeles after driving from New York with Nate. I have a large zip lock bag of film staring at me every time I go into my room. It is a painful reminded that my film can not get processed for free, I do not have a scanner and no monetarily feasible way to process/scan/edit my film. But that is all the bad stuff. Now that I have accepted that, I can mentally move forward with my photographs.

My mother and I have always had a deep emotional connection. She is a therapist and a great listener. We can have a great time talking about feelings and hopes and dreams and all that jazz. We connect by just talking. But my father and I have a different dynamic. This could be because we are both males and assume the roles of not talking about lots of “deep” things or… I don’t really know. But the way we connect is through activities. We will go on walks, take trips, or just recently, golfing. I have worked on a project in the past titled “The Walzers” about my dad and his side of the family. I worked on this causally when I would come home for the holidays. And now that I am back home it seems like a great time to step up my thought process and work ethic through this project. I rediscover a manual 35mm camera in my closet and have been shooting a lot. I dropped off four rolls of film today, guiltily at walgreens. In the next couple days, I will have low res scans (scans none the less) of new photographs taken by me. I am excited.
And now for your visual aid, with more to come soon.
