I Believe (In the Good Life)

“I Believe” is made of Super 8 stills of people in my community, shot one frame at a time, and gay folk church music by local musician Joel Gibb and his band the Hidden Cameras. Up to 3,600 portraits can fit onto one roll of Super 8. Many are shot at night with a flash. I set out to capture a social atmosphere on film. The experiment proved to me that despite our many flaws, I do believe in the good of life. (LH)
