"Limitations can be amazing things. They can push us harder and further than we ever thought possible. One of my favourite cameras to shoot with is a plastic toy camera by Lomography. Every restriction the camera offers poses a new opportunity to come up with a creative solution to get the image I want. You mix this with the lack of latitude found in instant film and you quickly find the process to be quite demanding. These images collectively celebrate those limitations and express the joy I find in curiosity."
