Self-portrait with flowers

My photography has really slowed down recently, and I am picking through old rolls of film again (and looking at my backlog of films to develop) to make up for the lack of image-making. I had slightly discounted this one, first time around, but looking at it again, I saw some potential. It reminds me of the pleasure of slightly slower photography, of thinking and playing with surroundings, of photography as a layered and interactive thing.

 

Time to pick up a camera and hold it in hand again. This camera slowed me down a little, demanded a little respect for its reputation.
