I am a passionate photographer with a deep love for the art of capturing moments on film. When I relocated to Hawaii, I faced a dilemma – the cost of developing film here was notably high, and it was starting to sway me towards returning to the realm of digital photography. Eventually, I gave in and acquired a digital camera once again. However, a pivotal moment occurred when a friend introduced me to the Hawaii Darkroom. This encounter truly transformed my journey.
At the Hawaii Darkroom, I found a community that shared my enthusiasm for film photography. Learning to develop and print my own film became a game-changer. No longer shackled by the expensive development costs, I embraced the hands-on process of creating my art from start to finish. The pivotal point arrived, leading me to bid farewell to my digital camera and fully immerse myself in the captivating world of film development and printing.
In essence, my photography took a new turn as I not only captured scenes but also breathed life into them through the intricate process of developing and printing. The Hawaii Darkroom became my sanctuary of creativity, and I am forever grateful to my friend for guiding me back to my true passion.
