I vibe with this. Usually, I'll bring one digital and one film camera. Bringing a TLR takes the pressure off, as there's only 12 shots to shoot on a roll in it. Many times, I'll take 2-4 film photos and then a few hundred digital photos. Sometimes the film cameras don't come out at all...
That all said, you got some good lookin' environmental shots of the city!
Thanks homey! Appreciate that. Yep, that’s the move, preparation is key. I’ll definitely be doing that more often, make the film go further and still get photos taken.
Hitting "the wall" as you get out to shoot is the worst! Thanks for sharing your experience (and some great images in non-ideal conditions) and reminding me that it's worth it to work past the doubt when you're not feeling motivated or inspired. Lately I've been talking myself out of getting out there when conditions aren't perfect, so I think I needed to read this!
Aw awesome! Well I’m glad I helped, it’s exactly how I wanted this series to be utilized and help others , without sounding too self-helpy if that makes sense. I get it though, particularly shooting with film it’s really hard to get out there when the conditions aren’t ideal. I’m so over this flat lighting!
Nice set of photos. - I know what you mean about feeling unmotivated on gray days. I’ve been struggling with that these past few days. The light is just so flat, nothing looks interesting.

It's so nice to see you following your intuition even when unmotivated. I like the pensive guy looking at his phone for some reason...Keep 'em coming!
Thanks Juliette! Yeah it was took a few of him, he was so absorbed.

Yep, I get that, and it’s seeming endless with about 4 or 5 false starts to spring so far. Thanks though! Pushing through is all we can do.
