Summer on Skye | 35mm Film

Some words from the notes page of my phone accompanied with photographs taken on film from this summer on Skye.

Daily Rhythms

A morning cup of tea

Stretching my body

Breathing in

Breathing out

Writing to myself

Another cup of tea

Stepping outside

The dew of the earth on my skin

Time with the mind

With the body

With the soul

Slowly

Slowly

Another cup of tea

Lay in moss

Cradled by trees

The river sings her song

As she dances her way to freedom

The wise old leaf shares a tale as she drifts back to mother

Icy waters cleanse my soul

Washing away my anxieties

Nature is healer

Authenticity magnetic

Gently

Gently

I nourish my heart

My mind

My body

My spirit

Another cup of tea

Create

Lessons learnt from the earth

Flow out into art

Fearless but intentional

Sun sets

Moon rises

Softly

Softly

A final cup of tea

Reflections fall from mind to paper

Winding down

Breathing deep

A sweet release

My mind wanders to sleep

Mother takes the night shift

Tends to my soul

My nervous system resets

Ready to do it all

Again

And Again

I’m hoping to branch into shooting more film only work and so I recently bought another Nikon F90 and this time got a Sigma 24-70 to go with it so knew I needed to get out and shoot a test roll and so that is what most of these photographs are from. I also was shooting some branding work for Rosana Exposito and so a lot of these are also from that too - together it has felt like a lovely little representation of this summer season on Skye.

Mostly shot on Kodak Gold 200 & Kodak Portra 400
