love letters

the post below is part of a series i am working on at the moment. i am using typewriters, a box brownie camera, letter writing, poetry, darkroom printing, book binding and other such methods that are rarely used any more. obviously digital has its perks but there is no substitute for a lovely hand written letter or a photograph thats been carefully printed and can be held in your hands.

the project is still in very early stages as it i have promised i will not imagine my final outcome too early in the project. so for now it is just thoughts and experiments.

i am writing letters to people important to me. although i have (for now) titled it 'love letters', they are not all to one person with whom i am in love, they are to anyone i would say 'i love you' to.

i am also writing small poems, musings, thoughts etc. about my childhood, things i miss, happy memories, people i no longer see.

my life is at a point where it is uncertain, things are changing and there are no definates. so i am looking to my past and reminiscing of a simpler time.

the writing of letters, using of a typewriter and overall use of simpler methods echoes the life of simplicity i long for.
