Candid Moments

It’s crazy what a picture can do to a person. An image is a time machine; it will transport you to a memory you might have forgotten. A moment in your life of lightness or intense emotions. Back to a person or setting, you may no longer know.

Film photography brings me back to my childhood. My dad took pictures of the family, all in film, when I was a little girl. Some photos are from a time we lived in Peru, and others from when we moved to the States. Sometimes, the photographs spark the feeling of longing for a place that is a part of me, but I am no longer there.

I want to capture these candid moments to share with those around me. It’s fun to see what I took pictures of; once they are developed. The not-knowing process creates an undeniable feeling of suspense that I enjoy.
