my first jalapeno harvest from the patio garden. going to try my hand at pickling these. ‘it ain’t much, but it’s honest work.’

photo snapped with my lomo automat glass on some expired b&w film.

flowers from my old front yard. from a lonelier, quieter time.

these were photographed with an automat glass camera on expired black & white instax (polaroid) film. i gave my favorite ones away to friends.

here’s a frame from some super 8 of my friend muzae working on a piece of his.

beautiful flowers from the garden that my partner chose. they’re called ‘night sky’ and look like little galaxies. 🥲🌌
