Dammit

I'm going to start this off by saying that sometimes it's just really, really nice to use a little old disposable film camera. I often find myself taking one along to festivals and concerts just because I basically want to jump around with my friends and not have to worry about someone spilling cheap beer all over my 5D. I like the way that film captures moments. It is always lovely to work with it as a change from digital. Yeah, the photo's often come out really grainy and occasionally you get the odd one that doesn't print quite like you had planned, but that's what I love about it. You just never know what you're going to get until you pick up that little print pack from the camera shop. 

Some people might not see much in these photographs, and that is okay. But to me, these photographs show weekends that I will never forget. There is a certain rawness to them that I love. We went to see our favourite rock show and stood in the rain together singing the songs of our teenage years as loud as we could. In that moment, it felt like we were 16 again - just a couple of kids full of teenage angst, rebellion, and a punk attitude. 

I am so happy that I will have these prints kept safe in a musty photo album somewhere. One day, I'll get them down and show my kids the unforgettable times that I spent with my best friends.
