My friend, Jan, and I were born five days apart.
I’ve known her since we were in 7th grade. I’ve seen her grow (horizontally
), gush over a male professor (coz y’know it’s rare to see guys in hs), cry over immature boys (and over bottles of beer), dance to Philippine traditional dances and EDM, etc.
Sixteen birthdays later, here we are turning to film photography–a hobby we share, among other things (except boys, duh!).
And we had this crazy idea that we collaborate for a film project using the same film camera and film roll. She celebrated hers in Bangkok, while I had mine in Batanes.
I kind of influenced her into film photography. She needed a creative outlet when she was going through a hard time a few years back. Read: heartaches.
I’m so glad that she eventually loved shooting film as much as I do.
These photos were shot in 2019. This year has been way too crazy. And gahd, quarantined birthdays suck.
