Film Roll: Valparaiso & Viña del Mar

April 03, 2015 in personal, travel

Valpo and Viña, sister towns on the coast near Santiago de Chile, were two great towns to explore. For less than a $5 bus ticket I got to the beach and out of the big city. I know where I'll be most weekends from now on...

Viña // the town's dogs loved sleeping on the beach

Viña // pure happiness, eating a fresh-out-of-the-fryer empanada and watching the sunset

one of a billion sunset photos, but this one's mine

An ode to the ocean and my film camera that makes me so happy.

Film Roll

I like shooting with film. It makes me slow down and think more than I would if I was using my digital camera. Then there's the experience of getting your prints back. It's like opening a present except you're responsible for its contents. Some of them are crap, especially because I'm still learning how to meter light correctly. But the ones that work out are all the more valuable.

Shot from January - August 2014, vibrant color is naturally from the film

That one time Madysen and I did winter portraits in Wyuka and almost got frostbite.
