Inky Daydreams by Don Frank

The long nights and wet days of Winter in the Northwest can lead to a slowing of the senses that thrive at all other times. But not this year. Instead, this project led to searching for serene still-lifes in the grassy dunes, windy beaches, flowing rivers, and snow covered forests of this place we call home. These strolls didn’t just result in moody photographs, but were a thoughtful exercise in listening, remembering, and may have included a little trespassing. To top off these wanderings, the images were made with an old medium-format Hasselblad camera and shot on film. The slowness that this process requires was a jolting reminder of how key it is to live in the moment and fondly remember what got us here.
