A Lost Roll of Film: What Old Photographs Can Teach Us About Time

While developing film in my darkroom, I discovered faces I hadn’t seen in over twenty years—my wife, our firstborn, and family gathered in Florida. That forgotten roll became a time capsule, reminding me that photographs grow more meaningful with time, preserving the love and connection that define our lives.

Why I love working with the old tech

It's a unique experience using an 8x10 camera for portrait photography, despite its size and the time it takes to use it. This deliberate method fosters intimacy and attention, allowing subjects to express themselves more naturally. The process highlights the beauty in imperfection and encourages a deeper connection between photographer and subject.
