henry sleeps soundly

Written By Joel Timothy

A few days ago I watched a video of two men comparing and reviewing a couple different black and white films, and it inspired me to switch my Fuji back into JPEG mode and turn the Acros filter on for a while. Shooting monochrome is just . . . different than colour. One element of photography is removed entirely, another moved into greater prominence. It is my personal opinion that some things are simply better when shot in black and white.

All of these are JPEGs straight out of camera using the Acros film simulation, with a weak grain applied, at ISO 3200. No adjustments have been done after the fact. I was using the Fuji 35mm F2.

I hope you enjoy these images of my little nephew sleeping on his grandmother.

I'm Joel, a storyteller from a rural town in northern Illinois, now based in Northwest Arkansas. I grew up spending a lot of time out of doors, and much of my indoor time with my nose in a book, two things that combined to create a passion for beautiful things and inspiring stories. I love capturing the real moments of life, in a way that reminds us that beauty isn't reserved for the extraordinary, but a part of everyday existence. In my writing and in my photography I seek to portray life as it truly is: totally miraculous, and wonderfully beautiful.
