In 2017, I loaded a roll of Ilford Pan 100 into my Nikon F-301 and shot the first half during quiet spring walks. Then life got in the way — and so did a camera that eventually refused to cooperate. It wasn’t until 2024 that I finally finished the roll, this time using a Praktica MTL3. Two cameras, two very different moments in time — all captured on a single strip of film.

What emerged in the end was a small, unintentional time-lapse — a quiet, analogue documentary capturing my family with a seven-year gap between frames. It’s a subtle reminder of how much changes, and how much stays the same.

I developed the film myself at home, standing over a sink in the bathroom — the usual makeshift darkroom. Later, I scanned the negatives using the Valoi Easy35, a process I’ve come to really enjoy. There’s something deeply satisfying about being part of every step, from pressing the shutter to watching the final image appear on screen.
