Film Soup Desert Edition Part One

Last October, I visited the state of Arizona—and the desert—for the first time. As someone who’s lived her entire life in the southeastern US, experiencing this climate felt like living in a wonderland for a week. Of course, it helped that the temperature was mild and not excruciatingly hot! What stood out most to me were the Saguaros, the majestic cacti that fill the landscape and can only be found here in the Sonoran Desert. I must have taken hundreds of photos of these plants that anchor the ecosystem and provide shelter, food and water for so many wildlife. One thing I knew for sure was I wanted to soup some of the rolls of film to see how this process could turn an already magical place even more magical. Some of my favorite film soup photos are below.
