Polacon!

The 2017 Polacon took place Friday, September 29-Sunday October 1, 2017. Sadly, I wasn’t able to take part in much of it, but I did enjoy a guided photowalk around Downtown Denton, TX, and a brunch after with a regular from the Dallas Photo Walk group. Next year, if I can keep it in my …

Delta Def Jam: at work with 3200, at 6400

With September came the Delta Def Jam… like the FP4Party, TMAX Party, and Neopantastic! before it, it’s a community celebration of all things Ilford Delta.

James & Hana’s Summer Vacation: addendum

I’m somewhat behind on processing film… I develop fairly quickly, scan as soon as it’s dry enough (or within a day, anyway) but I’m well behind on getting those scans converted to positive and shared.
