Yusuf's Thoughts

Film

1 min read

I shoot 35mm film as a hobby. A lab develops and scans each roll, and some of the frames end up on my Instagram as collages cut across several slides. The collages below are built the same way, from six rolls shot between December 2022 and December 2024, and grouped by the light they were taken in.

Each collage scrolls sideways. On a phone it moves one slide at a time, the way a carousel does on Instagram.

Slide 1 of 3: a stained glass skylight with blue and gold bands, and the edge of a lattice canopy lit pink Slide 2 of 3: the underside of a wooden lattice canopy glowing pink against a blue sky Slide 3 of 3: the same canopy in daylight, and olive branches lit from below at night

Daylight

Slide 1 of 3: a grey cat asleep on pink striped bedding, and my sneaker next to a blue train seat Slide 2 of 3: a path between fields and fruit trees, and a snowy car mirror reflecting me with the camera Slide 3 of 3: the Eiffel Tower through a metro window, and high-rises above a yellow blur

Golden hour

Slide 1 of 2: a bicycle against a wall under a red light leak, and the sun breaking through dark clouds Slide 2 of 2: an archway framing a warm sky with a red pedestrian light, and an orange light leak
Slide 1 of 2: a corridor ceiling of yellow light bars and a row of glowing yellow columns Slide 2 of 2: a long hallway lit yellow between tall columns

Dusk

Slide 1 of 2: a red sunset behind bare trees and lit office windows, and clouds seen from a plane Slide 2 of 2: purple clouds over a rooftop, and a road at blue hour with street lights coming on

After dark

Slide 1 of 2: a floodlit tower beside a green street lamp, street lights pulled into streaks, and a fountain blurred by a slow shutter Slide 2 of 2: more light streaks, and a glass tower with green sculptures inside a mall at night
