In July 2021 my friend Maddie and I flew to L.A. from a work trip out in Utah to visit our friend Natalie. After shooting primarily digital in Utah, I was looking at the 35mm rolls of Portra 400 I had packed and thought “what the heck” I’ll only shoot film while I’m in California. I loaded up my Canon EOS 1N and can confidently say that these images are what reignited my love for film again.
