Eternally Conflicted

A few photos from a two-day series the paper put together on our local emergency room. Day one focused on the people who work there while day two looked at the patients.

I took my Rolleiflex film camera in and did what I could. I was actually really happy with the way these came out. It’s strange using a manual focus camera with a viewfinder that makes you look down instead of directly at the subject. On the other hand, it forces you to go slow — in a good way — while increasing the connection to whoever you’re photographing.

Plus you get to work with film, which I still love. Just something about it…maybe a warmth, but not in a color sense.
