Because I'm Me

So today I got the brackets for my braces on.

When I was asked (by a woman named Pilar. Lovely lady, by the way) what color I wanted my thought process went something like this:

"Hmm... I like rainbows. Rainbows are pretty. GAH I CAN'T BE INDECISIVE. UMMM. I'LL BE IMPULSIVE AND SAY ORANGE. Yeah, I like orange. Orange is one of my favorite colours!"

It wasn't until she had started putting the orange band things on that I realized that it's almost Halloween.

Now I have Halloween braces.

Oh joy.

It seems very surreal that I'm getting braces now, though.

It's always been something that other people had and something in the future.

Not here.

Not now.

But now it's here and now.

Here's a song:

My Life

I went outside to take some pictures.

It started to rain.

I danced.

I love film.

I love how… real film is.

It’s not a bunch of images saved to a rectangle of plastic and metal.

It’s there. Each and every exposure you can hold in your hand.

I love the painstaking process of loading film into an old camera.

I love the fear of wasting a precious frame that causes me to think before I shoot.

I love it.

I need more.

All I have left is 10(?) exposures in Roseanne.

Meh.

Also, I think part of my love is it’s currently the only way I have to shoot manually.

If I mess it all up, I know it’s because I focused wrong or chose the wrong combination of settings.

With my digital point and shoot, I have to deal with it focusing wrong and stuff. It’s annoying.

I learn more with film.

OHMYGOSH.

I'm in love.
