​After a fifteen-year hiatus, a gifted Instax camera reignited my passion for photography. What began as a casual hobby quickly evolved; as I shot hundreds of frames, I found myself craving more creative control. This led me to manual instant cameras, specialized lenses, and filters. Through this experimentation, I discovered a distinct, dream-like quality in my work—a discovery that ultimately drew me back to negative film to further push the boundaries of my "dream photos."

This is an easy one for me, I find inspiration from all around me. It could be something that I see while walking on a sidewalk or looking at a wall and seeing a imperfection. Its honestly very hard not to shoot photos of everything I see as I can find something interesting with everything I capture.

I would use some of the money to purchase some new lenses I dont have for my existing film cameras. Then I'd get a 6x17 manual panoramic camera that is a dream camera to me. I would use the rest to purchase a large format printer and supplies to start producing large format prints of my photos to sell.
