I have been a photographer, in one way or another, since 5th grade. I had a purple plastic film camera that came everywhere with me. My first hired work was that I would take pictures of some of my friends’ crushes at recess for them (for a nominal fee of course).
These images are dual exposures from a roll that was started in that purple plastic camera, in about 7th grade, and then discovered and transferred to an old Olympus point and shoot last summer. I reshot the roll and overlayed my new life with my old one.
A lot of the frames didn’t line up and some look pretty weird - but these are a few of my favorites. It is so fun to see smiling faces of old friends watching over Devin while we’re out on the boat, or my childhood bedroom and cats hanging out in flower patches from a Monhegan hike. On the last slide you’ll find baby .hoggatt - and I love that on the photos of her on the roll share exposures from a day trip I where I met up with her and .8 on a special trip they took together.
