June 2020 Update
I had delayed posting my May 2020 Update because of so much happening in the world so it feels like I just did an update. Things are, of course, still happening in the world, but keeping up with my personal … Continued
Two First Rolls
I recently finished shooting my first roll of film in 2 new-ish cameras. Back at Christmas, Holly gave me a Minolta Autopak 450Ex. Then, in March, right before the pandemic hit, I ordered a Minolta X-700. Yes, I have a … Continued
Spring Flexaret Photos
I’m still working on posting some of my film photos from the spring. I need to get caught up on these since I just sent off another batch of film to be processed. In early March, before the pandemic and … Continued
