The first in a series of three narratives by Emmett Shine & Vanessa Packer based upon photos shot in and around Rincon, Puerto Rico with a broken Pentax camera.

“I put together 2 old pentaxs at the last minute, the body on one would not properly stay shut, nor properly find. So I had to expose the film to load it, and unload it almost everytime. The lens was sharp as hell tho. It was 2 pentax 35mm, I forget exact makes.

The film was literally like 3yrs expired and all the rolls were 12shots. The colors are great because of the exposures and aged film.

Honestly, the laboriousness of the process was real refreshing." -Emmett Shine
