I admit that I was always interested in coming of age films where the boy becomes a man. I would think as you stated that growing up was to become good at what your supposed to be doing. I do believe that growing in character is part of growing up. And yet I thoroughly agree with you that embracing the unknown and doing it anyway allowing your self the luxury of mistakes is key in our venture to continue to grow. In your fine art class for creative live that you have been doing over the last month, I have been seeing that your reckless abandon to venture into your fears and fantasies have afforded you a contagious following of which I am glad to have glimpsed personally into with my own art. Thank you for your honesty and for purging into the unknown for us.

This is a beautiful set, I really love them. Nothing against the edited version at all, but I love the vivid greens in the plants.
So true on trying new things, so many people just don’t commit to something long enough to become good at it it all.
I really want to try medium format film one of these days, once I have the spare money.
Once again, wonderful set/ Maybe you should get your own MF camera. 🙂

In reply to Margherita Introna. I can only imagine what it was like for film shooters to transition. I wouldn't have liked it either! But glad you're creating either way, the world is better for it!

Absolutely gorgeous images Brooke! Love <3 <3
Photography has been a passion of mine for over 20 years, so I started with film. I used to scan my negatives and then play with the digital images in Photoshop. So much fun! I always giggle to myself because I was not impressed with digital cameras when they first came out. In fairness though, the quality was a bit nasty. Luckily, the quality caught up and then I fell in love with digital. But there was always a bit of magic and wonder with handing in your film to be processed. My first ever self-portrait was on film. It was so exciting to create! I guess that feeling of complete control and expression has always stayed with me from that moment…

Beautiful images, Brooke. I wish I had never “outgrown” the freedom of getting dirty. I need to work on this. 🙂

I couldn’t get my email to go through to you, so I hope it’s okay to contact you this way. I presented what you do for India to the board of directors and they are interested in funding you. We would also like to know what type of used cameras are acceptable to donate to the project. Some may have some older film cameras that might be acceptable. I haven’t seen them myself so I would go through them before sending.
