-Member of the wedding by Carson McCullers. Made me feel like a tween again which was unexpectedly beautiful. Her more popular book The heart is a lonely hunter is very good too!
-Jess+Moss by Clay Jeter is a really beautiful movie. Gorgeous colors and cinematography and heartwarming story.
-recently watched Fried Green Tomatos, also very heartwarming and beautiful. All about love and interpersonal relationships.
-Second Place by Rachel Cusk also gives some great food for thought on the search for meaning.

this film depicts loneliness in such a humane and palpable manner. extremely sweet and a nice departure from the typical romantic comedy.
i always find cities the best landscape to depict loneliness, this film reminded me of a favorite quote of mine:
“there must be thousands of people in this city who are dying to welcome you into their small bolted rooms, to sit you down and tell you what has happened to their lives. and the night smells like snow. walking home for a moment you almost believe you could start again. and an intense love rushes to your heart, and hope. its unendurable, unendurable.” - franz wright

Always a nice feeling to complete a new piece. I feel like I’m finally starting to build a collection of work that feels my own.

I’ve mostly been shooting with Ilford hp5. It’s 400iso so probably not meant for landscapes but alas, it’s all I had. This is a picture from Switzerland. Kodak Gold is also my fav colour film.

its the perfect blend of fiction and nonfiction. Capote is a journalist and wrote the book after investigating a murder but he writes the book as if it were fiction from the perspectives of the victims and killers. He fills in the gaps with dialogue that may have taken place and the feelings the victims might have had during the home invasion. It’s a true story but very engaging read, plus it has a beautiful cover!
