Autumn always arrives quietly - Kodak Ektar 100

Autumn always arrives quietly.

One day, everything is green, and the next, the trees decide it’s time to turn orange and gold—no noise, no drama. Just change. That’s why I love shooting this season with the Hasselblad 500cm and Kodak Ektar 100. The camera slows me down, the film holds the warmth. It keeps little things—wet leaves, a foggy morning, a cup of tea by the window—as if saying, “This mattered.”

Even if I wanted to write, something keeps me from holding off, allowing me to enjoy the time, take it slow, and not rush. Such as film photography. It is all about waiting for the perfect moment

Autumn tells the truth: things grow, things glow, things fall, things rest. And it’s not sad about it. It shows us you can let go and still be beautiful.

We’re the same.

We have our spring—childhood—bright and loud. Then the messy, too-much teenage years. Then adulthood, which is like autumn: deeper, warmer, more aware that time actually moves. Each season has its own colour, like our lives.

The whole universe runs on this rhythm. Waves come and go. Night comes, morning follows. Hardships fade. Not always fast, but they do. Every night has a morning—you just don’t know what that morning will bring.

Autumn reminds me to live more simply: walk more slowly, print photos, talk to the people I love, and enjoy the camera I already own. Life passes—not harshly, just naturally. I don’t want to miss the orange right in front of me.

Maybe the most human thing is to do what the trees do:

Feel the change,

trust it,

and let go.
