"Growing up, I loved watching my dad take photos of family gatherings and vacations. My interest grew when I took a photography and darkroom class in high school. After a break due to sports and, I've rediscovered my passion for photography as an adult. For the past 3 years, I’ve been making photos with my Leica M3 and Mamiya RB67. I’ve gravitated towards portrait photography and capturing spontaneous moments as I walk around or on set." - Kish

Peter Giebel @peterpandroid is a film photographer based in the United States. Images shot on #ektachrome100 and #ektar100. "This winter, I quit my job, grabbed a handful of film rolls, and drove from Denver, CO to White Sands National Park near Alamogordo, NM. You can't quite prepare yourself for what you're going to see. First, you drive down a highway that signs tell you could be closed at any time for missile tests. Out your passenger window, you see rows of military craft sitting silently upon the distant runways of Holloman Air Force Base. And there in the distance, the road gives way to white, more so like clouds than any earthly form. You would be forgiven should you suddenly think you were at the beach with low shrubs and grasses springing from beside the road. But you keep driving, and suddenly the road is packed sand and the only landmarks you can see are the San Andres Mountains whose shadow you now approach. Eventually, you have stop, not simply because the road will end but because the dunes are an accusation: "What you're seeing isn't real." In White Sands National Park, you can walk for ten minutes away from the road, and suddenly the only footprints you see are yours. You climb to the top of a dune and stare out at nothing but the warp and weft of glimmering white and soft shadow as they stretch before you for miles. You turn and see your tracks appear and disappear. You listen to the slither of the sand and mistake jet engines high overhead for thunder. The world is surreal, always changing but also always itself. The desert is dangerous but also an oasis, a haven from the harsh, sparse, and lonely landscape of the American West that you drove through to get here. For when you're in the park, the world glows, the air always thick with light. And the desert is not a desert; it is a state of mind. Such a place demands photography, surely because photography cannot capture it purely. And in failing, you will always have reason to return." - Peter

Daniel Batten @danb.film is a film photographer based in the United States. Images shot on #portra400. "I fell in love with film through learning darkroom photography as a teenager - the physical, mechanical, and chemical way of creating images felt magical, and the forced slowness and patience involved really helped to sharpen my eye for detail. My work is really just a documentation of the way I see the world - the moments, people and places that catch my attention. And as much as the act of taking the image interests me, equally does the process after that happens. The developing, editing, printing, and ultimately the curation of images to construct a narrative or feeling." - Daniel
