Brittany Markert
Photographer
A year ago I received a 35mm SLR from a friend. Since then, I have spent this last year studying analog photography.

Some aesthetically stimulating inspirations: isolated light, stairwells, bathtubs, old films, desolate buildings, motels, window curtains, vintage clothing & trees lacking leaves.
