My Everyday Life Week 36

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 36

SF Photo adventure day (labor day) with Reese, Ronnie, Marco & Jasper!  

Our goal was to shoot film (which I need to develop!) and play with cameras. 

I brought my Fuji XT3 and gave myself a challenge to shoot only double exposure with it.
