My first time shooting medium format film! I was gifted a roll of 120mm medium format film and I was able to walk around downtown Plymouth and experiment with different lighting environments. These are some of my favorite end products!
Lunar Eclipse: November 8th, 2022
Lunar Eclipse: November 8th, 2022
For as long as I can remember I have always loved looking up at the stars. I love finding constellations I can recognize the shape and know when and where they'll be in the sky depending on the time of year. I love looking up at the sky and figuring out what planets are visible. Most importantly, I love watching the Geminids & Perseids meteor showers, they will always be events that I look forward to. When I heard about this most recent lunar eclipse, I had the ambition to document it. I decided to wake myself up at 3 am to catch the progression of the eclipse, and to throw on my Comfy as I would literally be sitting in freezing temperatures. As I was watching the eclipse progress, mother nature decided she wanted to rain on my parade and throw me some clouds that directly blocked my view. I was only able to document the beginning of the eclipse until I realized that I would be unable to see the eclipse in full. I ended up turning in for the night at around 5 am, with a meeting scheduled at 8:45. Needless to say, I was exhausted. But! I still really enjoyed the process and I was satisfied with my end product.
a favorite project of mine
teenagers (April 2022) is a series of 8 analog photographs about queer and transgender youth growing up in today's society. In the United States, so many new bills are being passed to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people, which has caused a lot of public scrutiny against the community. Being queer today has become more socially acceptable but is still so very dangerous to the individual. It is important to have an insight into the queer community in formats such as this to show that these people are human, just like everyone else, and do not deserve any hostility for being who they are and loving who they love.

building my own pinhole camera!
building my own pinhole camera!
In my sophomore year of college, I took an introductory-level photography class where we experimented with film and light-sensitive photo paper. At that time I had never shot anything on film or worked with anything of the sort, so I was nervous that I would mess something up, or destroy my entire roll. For this class, we made our own point-and-shoot pinhole cameras out of cereal boxes and shot a 24-exposure roll of film with them. I could get a few final pictures out of my roll, but there must've been a small gap within my camera that let some light in, as a large portion of my film was burned. With what I had to work with, I am proud of what I could use as my final pictures.
