Received the copies of my zine today, and I am very happy with how they turned out. It was a project I started at the start of everything shutting down last year. I am excited to share it with everyone. Please follow the link below and browse my shop.

Small town Minnesota. Drove through here probably 100 times over the last 30 years. First time stopping.
I am trying to get ahold of @CircleKStores customer service but have had no luck. Is there a phone number to call?
At this point, @GM business model is just dropping the ball on innovation. Take away subsidies and incentivize small, safe vehicles.

A photo isn’t finished until it is printed. This is a great step towards preserving memories.

I used some ‘mediocre’ EF lenses to shoot on my EOS1n. They may not be great on a recent mirrorless camera, but with film they are great. I have never liked Canon wide lenses on my digital cams. On film, my 16-35 is sharp. My 50 1.2 is insane. Looking forward to shooting more.
I don’t know why I slept on 35mm for so long. I have been shooting 120 for about five years. Just made some 12x18 prints from some fp4 and hp5. They are everything I was looking for.

The Canon EOS-1N might be the most slept on film camera. I picked mine up for about $100. It has an amazing meter. Accurate autofocus, even on moving subjects. It isn’t a ‘cool’ retro camera. But, if you only care about the output this might be the best ever.

Messed around with some HP5 in my EOS-1N. It is a great combination for action and candids. I shot it at 640 and I like the results. Much better contrast than box speed, but still good dynamic range. Looking forward to printing some out and seeing how they hold up enlarged.
Does it count if I scan my negatives at 1:1 with my macro lens?

This is my favorite image from what I have shot recently. It was my first time shooting HP5 at 800. I don't like it at box speed. This has a nice contrast with amazing sharpness and crisp grain. I think I might move away from FP4 for medium format. Mamiya glass always performs.
With the rise of #ai in art, especially photography, I feel film photography will become even more important. This is especially true with photojournalism. With film, I can hold a moment in my hands. It is the physical proof of time. There is no denying what is true.
The scene in SPR, where the old man is walking and his family is following him. His son/son in law takes a photo and I think that is going to be a great, powerful image. The look his wife shoots him makes me irrationally annoyed.
