This is my second roll of film developed in quarantine. These past few months have been filled with strange times that feel like they keep getting stranger. One of the things that has kept me calm and has been a great release has been continuing to wander around the city in the quiet hours of the day. Waking up early in the morning to bike or wander around the city with no real goal other than getting out of the house and breathing fresh air. These are some subdued scenes from the past few months.

SF Trip 001 - First Quarantine Roll of Film Developed - 35mm
I just got my first roll of film developed in quarantine. I have been staying sane by running all over Golden Gate Park, reading mountains of books, and being one of the few people still wandering around the city. These are some scenes from living life a little slower and staying six feet apart.

I got a roll of 35mm Kodak Portra 400 developed a couple of weeks ago and this is what I got back. I was a bit hesitant developing this roll, because another roll I brought with me on my trip was water logged and was essentially useless. So when I was shooting with this one, I didn’t even really know if anything would even be able to be developed. So the last nine frames on the roll are me walking from my house in NoPa to Castro to drop my roll of film off and what I saw on my twenty minute walk to the camera shop.

2018.07.29 - Hanging Around the Haight
I went around my neighborhood in NoPa today and wandered around though Haight as well. There are so many iconic houses, so much lush greenery and unique architecture sprinkled all throughout this area. I brought along my camera, plug in my headphones and wandered aimlessly throughout the streets and neighborhoods. These are some of what I came across on my walk.
Lately I've been feeling a burst of creativity, I think it's because I am finally getting normal sleep and not working 12-15 hour days ad nauseam. I've been thinking more of how creative children are and how I think we lose that creativity as we get older and integrate into society. We are told what is possible, what an adult should be and what you should be doing. As we age, we get put into boxes and put ourselves into certain molds, which is potentially unhealthy and self damaging. I think the most creative we are is when were a seven or eight year old kid and if you don't foster that creativity and imagination, you lose it every year you get older.
