A blog of sorts, by B. Gutierrez.

This is not a photograph of a moment. In my most recent escapade to the West, my film got stuck in a frame. I must have taken 30 shots on that one frame, maybe more. I forgot what I tried to capture. Where I was. What I felt. Who was with me. This one photograph holds time and a few stories of loved ones, strangers, city lights, country roads, the ocean, and maybe one of my reflections. It is all together, unrecognizable. Beautiful.
California, April 2012, a set on Flickr.Film, color negative and color slides. A lot of cross processing, double and multiple exposures, early hikes, drives, and sunsets. Cold and warm sand. California has my heart. Meetings, museums, family, friends, and Las Dos Fridas.
My California film preview.  I love California and I love film. It’s only natural that the outcome is so magical. I only had time to barely look through the photos, but so far, I’m in love. My wonderful journey of discovering the beauty of film has been going for a year. It’s been a bit pricey, but hey… I don’t have a shoe problem, so it’s all good. I am so in love, SO IN LOVE with this medium. Now I just have to keep trying to convince a friend to teach me how to develop my own black/white film (I saved my CA b/w rolls for it!)… I have the feeling my mind will be blown.
Stories of neon sunsets.
Moo! Can you say “Legit Cows”?! Shout!
I miss Bill too. This was during my first visit to Crystal Bridges museum.
Hipster in a red bubble. One of my faves at Crystal Bridges.
