First of the Roll (Part of the Walk and Talk series) 35mm Film I hadn’t advanced my film enough and got this ‘first of the roll’ image. This one evoked a response about my condition once it came back from the developing lab. Cancer can sometimes feel like you haven’t advanced enough yet to produce the full image of your life.
