That's because none of these came from a smartphone. 😉
What would you like to know specifically? Photos in my grids were taken on at least five different cameras, ranging from an APS-C sensor, full frame, and digital medium format, as well as 35mm and 120 format film. I don't have a specific process, per se, based on my available gear. I just find a scene I like and take a photo of it. Almost none of these were planned, and of those that were, I spent less than two minutes on setup. I literally just find scenes I like a take a photo.🙂
Well that explains it. They are beautiful and your selection feels curated. I love the earthy pastels, in particular the consistency of the blue tone through the images. What do you edit with? (If you do, your nickname could be "Manual Master Molly" for all we know.)
Short share...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE photography. In my do-over life I'm a traveling photo journalist... Not more than 20 minutes ago I made a note in a "grateful" journal someone got me for 2024... "I'm grateful for my photography, but I no longer appreciate sharing on social media. If I share, I don't want it to be part of someones mindless scroll."
Following Facebook and Twitter, I'll be shuttering my Instagram account next. For years I plugged my favorite pics into it. I thought it would become for my children what my parents high school year books and photo albums were for me, a window to their past, our visual family history.
It's been years since I've seriously used anything other than my smartphone, but that's ok–the best camera you own is the one you have on you. I'm sitting on 1,000s of images that I personally feel are quite enjoyable to look at. Including a week long excursion on the most remote stretch of the Appalachian Trail.
I hope to exhibit somewhere, someday.
Thank you for your post. Here's two of my favorites from last year. Photos are untouched, converted the HEIC to Jpeg and uploaded. iPhone 14Pro/Max.
