When I first switched from digital to film photography, I remember thinking that it felt like agony to have to wait one whole day for my film to be developed and scanned. Now, I'm finding that it's actually good for me to wait weeks, even months, before really examining my photos. Doing that lets me emotionally detach from my photographs, so that I can look at them more objectively and not be swayed my own personal memory of what that day was like. Here's a photo that I made, maybe six months ago? It finally feels like it's time to post it.
