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. Oh well. The vacation was still a blessing, we still had a good time, and these pictures are still worth …

Bergger Pancro 400 at 125
I’m awful at remembering to check settings on cameras before I start shooting. I’ve gotten a little bit better over the years, maybe, but I still lose it from time to time. For this year’s summer vacation, I took along some Bergger Pancro 400 in 35mm and 120. I managed to set the Olympus XA …

Overexposure at the Water Gardens
Mom came to visit us for a couple of days last week, and on Saturday morning, at Samie’s suggestion, we visited the Water Gardens in Fort Worth. An apparent misreading of the B/N switch on the Sprocket Rocket resulted in me shooting on B for the entire time. The light, but definite presence of homeless …
