California

I’ve had this roll of film sitting inside of my broken Canon for the longest time now. The advance lever on it broke and I had to carry around a little wrench to advance the frame after each click. It was kind of a hassle but it is my favorite camera and I was determined to use it that day. As it turns out, that happened to be the only day I ever shot with this roll. These photos were shot on my first birthday after moving down to California and for the three years which followed, the roll and the camera just sat inside the glove compartment of my car.
