Using Film to Photograph my Favorite Moments

Our photos live on our phones. They occupy ones and zeroes on our hard drives. They reside in the cloud.

Rarely do we have an opportunity to touch our photos. To hold them in our hands. To cradle a slice of time.

I've circled back to using film as a medium to capture some of the moments that mean the most to me.

Here are a few moments with our daughters, Scarlett and Sabrina, while we explored Historic Downtown Neenah.

The weather was perfect. We examined bugs, held races and danced.
