Black and white film

Grotto

Place, people, and the traces they leave behind.

I photographed Grotto on film and developed it by hand. These frames move from worn buildings and open landscapes to a gathering at night.

Weathered storefront beneath a leafy tree
Bert's Cash Store beside an empty road
Abandoned wooden house in a field beneath clouds
Motorcyclist beside a vintage gas pump in open country
A man cooking outdoors during a gathering
Two friends posing together with cigars
A woman smiling while seated outdoors
A person seated beneath string lights
A hat and two glasses on a wicker table
A glowing globe streetlamp behind ironwork and leaves
