""i'm barely hanging on." is actually a statement of strength. it means you keep fighting when others would have quit. and you kept going even when you got lost for a bit. those truths will stay with you forever. so don't worry if it feels like you are barely hanging on. that means you've made it through the worst and the best is yet to come." Topher Kirby _ Loving this set of fire slide images I captured in a tiny Iowa town a few years ago. I never sent the film in until last fall. As always, the developing and scans from @dsmfilmlab are 👩‍🍳💋. _ #abandoned_af #abandoned_seekers #abandonedafterdark #decayofthelower48 #decay_nation #film_addicts #filmisnotdead #analogmotel #analogphotography #analogfilm #womenwhoshootfilm #filmphotography #shootfilmstaybroke #buyfilmnotmegapixels #film #35mmfilm #ruralamerica #ruralexploration #rural_love #iowaartist #opeanalog #rockbrookcamera #filmisalive
