I grew up going on hikes with my family at Volo Bog State Natural Area, and it’s still one of my favorite places to visit in Illinois. A bog, especially in the vanilla Midwest, is a magical place, and when you get out in the middle of it, after crossing acres of quaking ground and floating dwarf trees on a narrow boardwalk, you feel like you’re in another world. This January we had an unseasonably warm stretch that felt just like Spring, and one Saturday I couldn’t help but grab a camera and head out to Volo to check up on an old friend.
Winter Walk in 110
110 is my secret weapon film format. With it I can create a dreamy and grainy image that evokes what many people think all film photography should look like. I took these photos on a winter walk with my brother with my trusty little Vivitar 110 Point and Shoot Camera and Lomography Tiger 110 Film.
