Bits of 2023. I didn’t practice nearly enough. Almost every roll was a failure (I left a few out on a hot ledge by mistake, bought too many handmade rolls, used mostly broken cameras), but I’m alright with it because things were not really clicking into place. I paid more attention to my new greenhouse, built in the summer. The greenhouse was perfect for making lumens once I had enough ledge space.
I accidentally took a pinhole on a trip with some friends, which resulted in a roll of 20-odd exposures that I love. Albiet, none of that trip came out well. I picked up my polaroid 600 again. It’s an early model with no ability to turn off the flash. My broken cameras might be too far gone now, though I still like this little broken 32mm which doesn’t have a lens cap.
I exhibited a couple of times, and stayed mostly on the outside of my little artist communities - one is active, the other is a lot less. Maybe it’s the age that my daughters are at; they need every moment of me that is available to them. I don’t need to be out there, busy and doing shows all the time. The tail end of December gifted me a lot of perspective.
