One Camera to Start. A Decade of Instants.
In 2015, I picked up my first SX-70 and started shooting Polaroids, not as a project, but as a way to slow down and see differently. What started as a personal habit became an obsession, and eventually a creative community of its own. These are the moments that the camera has caught along the way.

New Roll. New Lessons.
Polaroid gives me the moment instantly. 35mm asks for patience. I picked up my first film camera in 2024 and have been experimenting since, learning the camera, the exposures, and how to see a shot before I know how it turned out. When it works, it is a different kind of satisfaction than instant film, one that feels earned.
