Moments frozen in grain and light—authentic, timeless, and full of soul.
What I love about shooting film is how it makes me slow down and be present. There’s no instant replay or firing off dozens of shots to get the “perfect” one. I get about 35 frames, and I don’t know what I’ve captured until the rolls come back from the lab in Salt Lake City. Even with the little flaws and surprises, I’m never disappointed. Film teaches me to wait for the moment that feels real—not just a posed picture, but something with meaning. Like Jon Mark Comer says, “The solution to an overbusy life is not more time. It’s to slow down and simplify our lives around what really matters.” Film reminds me to do just that.
