Alex Galt @alexgalt.com · 03/09/2026Not that this is a great photo, though I do like it for some reason. But this retaining wall and the trees you see above it were torn out last week, and this arrangement of things and light will never happen again. The most mundane photos become documents of their time. #BelieveInFilm #Photography 0140
Alex Galt @alexgalt.com · 02/09/2026I put up some new shelves and it pleased me to put my cameras on display temporarily. I’ll return most of them to a dust-free drawer when I get over the novelty of having a spot that fits them all. The Rolleiflex is my favorite. #BelieveInFilm 140
