There I found me in a long, long wood Astray, midway of mortal life Witness to such agony
But there, before the grace of God go I

I haven’t been shooting film as much as I’d like to as of late, but I’ve been enjoying getting some digital photos of wildlife and nature scenery lately. These photos of this adorable duckling were so fun to capture. Now back to some film & cyanotypes

Where I live we don’t have any shops carrying film cameras or film. I was delighted to find this shop in Portland today, and even more excited to find some sx70 color film in the “wild”. Had a lovely chat with an employee too!
