Accidental Double Exposures
“You can’t do this with digital.” — Me, the last time I accidentally double-exposed a roll of film.
More Chemicals
I had to finish a roll to try the new chemicals last week, these are the results. Taken with my Pentax 645n and 120/4 Macro on Kodak Portra 800 film. Developed in Kodak chemicals that are nearing the end of their useful life, which is 5 weeks or so.
In Lancaster
I took Ben to meet my dad in Lancaster for a classical guitar recital. I think I expected something a little more challenging, but hey – this is Lancaster after all.
Welcome Home Specialist David Cullen
David is a Specialist in the 144th ASMC Medic Unit from Salt Lake City, Utah. He has been in Afghanistan since March of 2010. He is a flight medic stationed at FOB Salerno Hospital. The Warriors’ Watch escorted Spc. Cullen from his A Hero’s Welcome reception at PHL to his home in Havertown.
In Reverse
I got some great new chemicals yesterday, that allow me to develop normal black & white film as positives instead of negatives. It was a good bit of work since the chemicals came in powder form, but it was worth it. It is a really neat look.
Around West Chester
Shots from walking a couple loops around town while the weather’s been nice, including a shot of my hairdresser Jay, whose son Aiden is a continuing miracle.
Who Endure
We were lucky yesterday to have several of the author/veterans of Jeanne Rapp’s new book, “They Conquer Who Endure”, present to sign our copies and tell their stories first hand.
Vette Parts
Things of beauty from County Corvette.
Windows
The rest of the roll from New London (and my upstairs bedroom) with an unintentional theme.
Mystical Sea Creatures
The Mystic Aquarium is small, but decent. They had Beluga whales, sea lions, and penguins outside, and then a small but nice exhibit inside.
Mystic Cemetery
Black and whites from a late afternoon walk through a cemetery in Mystic, Connecticut.
En Route
Part of my travels this week from Philly to New London (Conn.), with brief stops in New York Penn Station and New Haven.
