Emily

Browsing archives again aka my very disorganized hard drive that no matter how many ways I organize it it just never feels right — from March 2023 This photo reminds me of something but I can’t put my finger on what. Another artist?? Another similar photo??? Not sure

Found rummaging in my Lightroom app Many moons ago with the most beautiful Zoe …we met as she was a customer at the film lab I used to work at and this was our first time hanging out, a few days after meeting I miss taking pictures of people I know and love or grow to know and love thru the connection portraiture brings </3

From today in the darkroom…..printing from a very expired roll that I tucked away in my negative binder bc I didn’t think too much of her. But forcing myself to slow down and look back, I found several gems that I love so much. I have found the most joy in expired film….printing and shooting❤️ First photo is my collage and clown wall (warms my heart in a way that I cannot put exact words to), mirror selfie is from thanksgiving in moody beach, and other selfie is with the skull of a squirrel I collected from my backyard Can’t get myself to post “instagramable” content anymore and I’m very happy with that

I miss freely shitposting my art on here. Now I have too much mind. Here is my most recent collage where I tried many new things…..last slide is a failed video of me trying to show the movement element the collage has I have been obsessed with the girl in the picture for months and finally found where she belongs in my collection Materials off the top of my head: Hops Lavender Marigolds A ring from my aunt when she was young Fuzzy string from thrift My favorite textured paper Birch from my neighbors yard Cactus Beads Lambs ear Pressings from homemade stamps that Eben and I carved together

Emily and Poptart. Emily in Motion. Hasselblad 500CM Kodak Trix 400 This was our first time shooting together and I could not of asked for a better experience. We played, we got weird, we encouraged each other to try something new, and made art doing it. Hope you like what we share, we certainly do.

Me and the girl by @_the_hedgehogs_dilemma !!!! Our first time ever shooting together, first time shooting in his ~home studio~, Fuji’s first time shooting his new Hasselblad, and my first time developing non expired Tri X in Rodinal ✨ I love modeling for my friends <3

So many things to say…first off….check the bio….learn how to develop your own roll of film with me!!!! 🧑🏻‍🔬🧪🎞️ Since starting this account and working in a film lab so many people have reached out wondering if I offer any sort of classes on developing and well…now I do!!! :^). Check out the link in my bio for a full outline of details and reach out! :) I’ve been wanting to do this for so.fucking.long. and I’m nervous to put myself out there but overcome with excitement in getting to connect with people over this! Processing my own film opened so many new artistic avenues for me and I want to share that with others. A few hours ago, as I was working out the logistics of this, I realized it’s the 3 year anniversary of when I first made this account like wtf. Instagram is meaninglessssssss but the connections I’ve made thru this account are not!!! I love all my friends I’ve met thru here so so much and appreciate u all endlesslyyyyyy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Last pic is me cheesing so hard on the day I bought my first TLR. A little over a year ago now ….how far we have come since then! <3

An old spooky and something new I’m working on

Finding it awkward to self advertise after not being on Instagram for a minute whilst in a weird place with myself buttttt my art is now hanging and for sale at Diesel Cafe @diesel_cafe in Somerville MA from now until May 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️ Would mean so much if you went and checked it out if ur local! I’ve been working on this project for months now and finally it’s time to share…all the work was printed in the darkroom ✨✨(oh also there’s small prints for sale as well 💖💖💖) You can find more information about the pieces on my website but I’m gunna share a direct link on my story and the link in my bio (the explanation of the pieces is what I’ve been feeling most connected to these days) 🫀💫 So many other wonderful artists and people involved! Everything was organized by art curator and friend Dave @pahhty and @aphoto_ofthis All artists involved !! @aphoto_ofthis @jgfb_photos @joakeem.gaston @thereelbec @jrmboston @emptypixels

Textured moments from March 2022 forgotten in my archive… Not my usual content but that concept is unsustainable Back when I carried my point and shoot everywhere @ebnphlo

parallelstateofgrace.com <333333 Spent the longest amount of time I’ve ever spent in the darkroom today. 9ish hours. For experienced darkroom folks this may seem like the norm, but for me it’s been truthfully very hard to get into the flow in there. Anxiety and old patterns of thought have been getting the best of me. I’ve had the darkroom space for over 3 months now and this was THE FIRST time I truly felt like I could be in there for 12+ hours because of how deep in the flow I was. I was experimenting in ways that have never struck me before now. Haven’t counted yet but I must have made 40+ prints….listened to @quinnie the ENTIRE time. I mean entire…..I could not get sick of listening to how deeply she feels. Another thing thats been happening for 3 months is the making of my website. I’m feeling a lot of feelings about it finally being completed (I’m accepting it will NEVER feel *perfect*….there’s gotta be a typo somewhere in there). Also feeling a lot of feelings about people actually possibly maybe probably hopefully…..seeing it. I’m moving into a new state of self and the website has felt like the beginning for me. I’m not destined to be a content creator pumping work out like crazy (….cheapening the work)……I finally have a place to express myself otherwise. Last pic is of me the other night putting the final touches on it on 2 laptops at once lol. Brain=fried Would love if u spent even a moment browsing <3 …now I can finally say “link in bio” ……..barf

Early October with Aylee taken on a wonderful little walk around the block together 🥀 Photos have lil white freckles bc I later realized my developer had soapy soap in it :’)))
