a date with destiny

This was my first ever venture into the world of film photography. I didn’t know it then, but I was done for the moment I picked up my first camera. Three years and twenty thousand dollars later, I am still here, still as bewitched as ever.

I had the camera tucked away in my drawer for forever until the social distancing mandates were relaxed, and until my friend and I zoomed through the winding maze-like streets of Hanoi searching for treasure. Little did I know that this would also be the birth of a beautiful new hobby and tradition, yet another mainstay amongst the existing mainstays in my life.
