Zach's PEN #40: Back to Photography
2021 Week 17: Just a bunch of pictures this week, and of course my every day posts
Dear PENpals,
One minor way the pandemic unfortunately got me was that it hit just as I was really falling back in love with photography again. Also going to the library. The library will have to wait a little while longer, but photography's coming roaring back now.
I wrote about why, if you've fallen out of love with photography, shooting film might bring back that loving feeling.

Otherwise, this week was absolutely exhausting, and I'll leave it at that.
This PEN will be a short one full of freshly developed photographs.

I made fun of a company that I've never been fair to, is actually an amazing company, and I really have no right no make fun of them, but I did.

I’ve been in a weird mood, sorry if it becomes unbearable. I wrote about how much I love storms.

Loading some film on my own reels for the first time and getting ready to put them in the tank.
Much love, PENpals,
