As some of you know, I love a project! I think it’s good to have a slow burner that you can dip in and out of, but also, to once in a while have a time limited one too. Having limitations is so good to work to, those constraints on location, time, subject matter, number of shots, it makes things more concentrated somehow.
There are a number of people on Instagram who shoot film who I’m really inspired by, one of these is Catherine, aka Everyday Mama. We’ve been chatting on Instagram for a few years. She’s a great source of inspiration, and supports so many around her. I’ve loved following her journey with film, which she openly and candidly talks about on Instagram. We thought it might be a good idea to load our film cameras up with a roll, and on Christmas Day, me in Yorkshire, and Catherine in Auckland, documented our festivities. I know Christmas is well and truly evaporated now, but the beauty of film is the patience it brings when you wait for those films scans to come back. Who am I trying to kid, I check my email every 5 mins when I know their estimated date of arrival ;-) So this is us on different sides of the world on film. I’m not putting captions as I think it’ll be obvious which shots we both took!
