Rainy Dayz

Today was a mission to check out the Tulips blooming in Golden Gate Park. Timed with a hell of a downpour on a Sunday. Good day to suit up in Storm FIT + GoreTex and play in the rain. Times like this I wish all my gear was water proof. Only my prime lens was protected. The Minolta and Fuji had to be wiped down and cared for quickly afterwards.

Continuity

Practice makes perfect right? Continuing to master prime lens capturing. Also, picked up a new 35mm Film Camera. Really excited to see the details that get produced by this new camera.

A February Story

Recent outings and some pics I've taken. Still learning how to best navigate the 35mm f2 prime lens for daily shootings.

Blind Faith

There's something to be said about film photography. It's the ultimate test of blind faith and trusting that things work out in the end. I grew up learning this style of photography as a product of the 90s heading to the transitional period of digital. No deletes or re-do's available.

Below are some of my first developed shots in a long time.

Most definitely opportunities with the fingers lol. Super happy for the most part with how some of these came out. The next film to develop in the chamber is a B/W Ilford HP5+ so we'll see how that turns out. With the Ektar H35 reinvigorating my appreciation for film photography, looking for a better 35mm film POS, that's easy to carry and affordable.
