About / instandreamlight is a search for selah: those sacred pauses where you find beauty, capture it and share it with others.

Bonnie Alderfer uses analog film to capture light that reminds her of her childhood in California, which has kept her using her collection of analog cameras as she migrates through the modern West. She has also lived in France, Washington, Idaho, and now resides in Oregon.
