A Month on Film
In an effort to challenge myself, get inspired and pick up my camera, last March I did a month on film. One roll of film dedicated to one month, each day having a prompt to get me started. I opened it up to all my followers on IG as well, a bit of a group project, but more so to have a group of people encouraging each other along the way. The truth about the winter months, is that picking up a camera can be tough. It's cold, the light can be difficult and for me in Iowa, there's just not a whole lot inspiring me. So I really wanted to do this not just for me, but for others who were maybe feeling the same bit of blah I was feeling when it came to photography.
For me, the roll consists of so much day-to-day life, and that makes me so happy I did this project. When I got my roll back, I found myself quite emotional, having the month documented in such a way. I cannot wait to do another project like this!
