Field Notes:

My first roll shot with 35mm was incredible. Of course, Polaroid will always be such an amazing experience, and there are still a lot of things to learn, but this 35mm ‘jump’ opened up a whole new world for me. I remember my uncle telling me about the joy of 35mm—and damn, he was right!
