We’re in the thick of a New England July and I can’t seem to capture enough of summer on film: strawberry rhubarb pie, watermelon, cherries, and collard greens to start. Bike rides. Chalk drawings. Sunset in the tree lined hills. Flowers from our garden beds.
Summer means roll after roll of color film. I can’t wait to capture all the possibilities of the season!
Steven Shore said it best, “To see something spectacular and recognize it as a photographic possibility is not making a very big leap. But to see something ordinary, something you’d see every day, and recognize it as a photographic possibility — that’s what I’m interested in.”

what a nice quote. i haven’t heard it before, but it pretty much sums up my photography philosophy.
beautiful photos. i love film too. summer is the best time for film with enough light and all these colors to capture. and grain always just adds interestingness, more depth and a bit of magic to any summer photo.
Thanks, Kristina! I’m a fan of Stephen Shore’s aesthetic and came across the quote in a recent article in The Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/jul/09/stephen-shore-america-colour-photography-1970s?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other). Cheers to summer and film, hope you get the chance to shoot some film!
