In pursuit of a goal, or have you hit that proverbial wall? In today's episode, Alex and Natalie explore the relationship between ambition and adversity. If it's all about the journey rather than the destination, can ambition also be defined by the adversities faced along the path to our goals? Listen in for a detailed discussion, or skip ahead to a summary as Natalie attempts to overcome the adversity of removing her emulsion lift from the water bath. Join us by attempting a lift of your own while listening- we'd love to see the product of your ambition!

July 04, 2022 Emotion Lift: Procrastination & Patience
Instant film artistry can offer a variety of therapeutic benefits- in our very non-professional opinion. Join us each month as we discuss thematic emotions while actively creating new emulsion lifts. Each episode will feature an emotion beginning with letters that spell out PASSION, and today's episode is all about (P) procrastination and patience; Alex reflects on the flirtatious overlapping of the two concepts, while Natalie celebrates the lack of patience that can lead to a cleaner lift! Some folks discuss life over a drink at the bar, while we prefer emotions over lifts by the microphone. What's your process?
Editing Note *Natalie jokingly refers to her polaroid taking a "cold plunge," but we advise the use of warm water when performing emulsion lifts*
