There’s a feeling you get right before your film is developed—a rush of anticipation and anxiousness. You don’t know exactly what to expect when your negatives are exposed, but that’s part of the magic. It’s a mix of relief and excitement, a moment where the unknown transforms into tangible memories, perfectly imperfect in their authenticity. Each frame tells a story, capturing fleeting moments that can’t be recreated. For me, this process is a reminder of why I fell in love with photography—it’s not just about capturing images, but about preserving emotions, connections, and the beauty of life in its rawest form.
