Layered

A 50mm lens is more front-to-back than side-to-side and compresses things together, perfect for layering foregrounds over backgrounds. It looks more deadpan than a 35mm.

Film Emulation

It’s fine to digitally emulate a film photography. A pack of monochrome 8x10 sells for $250, a $150 rise from a decade ago. Some 35mm rolls fetch $15. Film photography was once the primary method for taking images.

Mercantile

The desire to ornament a small store in remote West Texas is different in my time. The roof ornamentation of the mercantile is an outward expression of something creative, and I like that.

Downtowns

Downtowns accommodate recreational photography. It’s light, shadows, and reflections of ourselves in glass entrances. It’s seeing someone we’re responsible for and committing to being kinder and more forgiving, knowing that change requires small steps.
