The dogwoods have come and gone, even in New York, and I havenβt taken any photos of them :( Anyone who knows me knows how big of a deal this is. Itβs the first spring in 4 years - since I first got into photography - that I havenβt taken at least a hundred pictures of dogwood flowers in all their various states of bloom: just opening up, falling apart at the end, every orientation possible, near and far, upside down and right side up, pink, white, and anywhere in between. It didnβt matter. I was taking photos of dogwoods. Anyways Iβm sad I didnβt get that chance this year due to unfortunate timing and life getting in the way but I promise Iβll make up for it next year. Here are some of my favorites from the past few years to ease my pain.
Lisbon - July, 2024 (Part 3)
Select 35mm shots. First 6 shots are @cinestillfilm 50D. Last two are expired Fujifilm Sensia 100 (shoutout @pictures_of_my_babys )
πΈ Canon AE-1 Program
July, 2024 - Lisbon [part 2 of 3?]
More from this trip. I struggle to put into words why I love Portugal, so until I figure that part out these pictures will have to do.
The B+W film got some damage / light leak artifacts, but I don't mind the look. The color film is Portra 400, I think.
All taken with the Rolleiflex 2.8E. B+W frames are self-scanned, color frames are lab-scanned.
July, 2024 - Lisbon [part 1 of many]
I think these photos speak for themselves. All I'll say is (1) I love my friends, (2) I love Ektachrome, and (3) the scans don't do these frames justice.

Helloooooooooooo
Over the past few weeks I've been grinding to burn down the backlog of over a year's worth of scanning and editing that I built up for myself. Luckily, I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm going to be posting a bunch of photos over the coming days to share some of my favorite moments of the past year or so.
Let's start with when my friends came to visit the Big Apple way back in April 2024.
πΈ Mix of film and digital. Film is Portra 400 (I think), shot through the Rolleiflex.
π p.s. if I took your photo during the period of January 2024 - March 2025, it's likely been uploaded to my public google drive. check the link in my bio
Happy (belated) birthday to my dear friend Monica. Throwback to last year when she visited me in Milan for a week and planned a trip to Lake Maggiore, where there are islands with botanic gardens (!) and peacocks that roam free (!!!).
The dots and irregular vignetting on the frames are apparently from humidity damage. Normally I'd kick myself for the error but honestly I love the look in these shots.

Finally catching up on some editing. Here are a few shots from way back in November, during my first week in the city.

As the sun sets on my 28th birthday I'd just like to thank everyone who supported me during the past year. I wouldn't have been able to uproot my life and chase my dreams if it weren't for you. Thank you. β€
