She, then and now (film).

A few years ago, I realized I had never captured her on film.

It was important to me for some reason.

So I started shooting film again.

I look at these images now, and follow the path of light:

originating from the late afternoon sun,

filtering through the window,

touching her face before reflecting off,

traversing the distance between us,

bending in the glass elements of a lens,

and finally etching her image onto an organic emulsion.

The film, like the viewer, is forever altered.

And it all happens in a fraction of a second — just like growing up.
