The Melting
Kodak Portra 400 film
Austin, Texas
Imagine a place like this in Michigan: a patio on the 2nd floor of the hotel, exposed to the elements. Crazy.
But in Austin, it’s possible – and a great idea.
Even when you’re right there, right in the middle of it, summer is always slipping away.

Canon Canonet QL17 G-III – Kodak Ektar 100
Some summer time plant life, taken with the Pentax K1000 and a lovely roll of Kodak Portra.
Magic.
Had my first roll of Kodak Ektar 100 printed, and boy, talk about some touchy film.
Or I should say, touchy camera (my Canonet) and film combo. Lots of underexposures, crushed blacks, and double exposures (like the one above) in the roll.
It’s a bummer when the photos you’re looking forward to seeing come out botched. But that’s the magic of film, right?
