I love my everyday life (school, work, chores), but sometimes it’s good to step away. I’ve found film cameras are particularly helpful for capturing these precious moments, allowing me to stay in the moment and reflect with clarity later. Below, you’ll find snapshots of snow-capped mountains in Aspen, Colorado. You’ll also find my favourite dumpling spot in Chicago, a quiet, sandy beach off Playa Negra, Puerto Rico, and the elusive coast of Chichagof Island, known for its extremely high bear population. These are the memories I find myself returning to between long hours at my desk and in the library.
