I’ve learned that film photography trains your eye the more and more you shoot because every photo you take costs money. In digital photography, you can take thousands of photos and dispose of any of them with the click of a button. Shooting my friends and family is what I love to do because they are a part of me, and you can see that in this book. I believe this book shows who I am without actually showing me. I wanted to include my handwriting to give this book more of a personal touch rather than just showing my photos off. I’ve poured everything into this project because I would like to look back on it for the rest of my life. This book has a lot of love on these pages. Enjoy!
