I caught the half-frame bug

I haven't actually shot any half-frame photography yet, but @halfframeclub got me good. I'm waiting on an Agat 18k so I can shoot some of my own (maybe with a roll of Lomochrome Purple).

Keep on shooting.

From my zine: A Life Worth Living (WIP)

It's not a consistent zine. Different formats, cameras, subjects, and color vs. black and white. But my life isn't consistent. It's a mess of moments, one after another. And I think it's pretty damn beautiful.
