Fragile Camera

by Rosey Lakos | 01 Sep 2010

Wedged in between wooden ammo crates, fingers wrapped around o.d. metal, boots dangle over the back of the jeep as blonde dry grass and dust hardened road pass underneath.  My faded green musette bag hangs heavy from one shoulder with the words fragile camera scrawled across each side.

A day spent on-set for the making of One Way Home composing images.  I chose to carry only my film camera with me .  This simple decision of limiting my materials created a distinct framework for me to work within.  There are only so many hours of light and this many frames of  film to work with …
I reluctantly get out of the WWII jeep at the end of the day brimming with the excitement of the undeveloped film in my pockets and perfectly consumed by the images I have just made.
