Drip Drops
Autumn Morning – Concord, Michigan
Even when you’re right there, right in the middle of it, summer is always slipping away.
Lake Michigan beach, paused thanks to a quick rain shower.
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?
Had a chance to visit Austin, Texas, last week for a higher ed conference. Lovely city, and very weird. Neat that both the state capitol and major university are in the same town.
And all that barbecue? Man.
More to come.
We never know when a great “decisive moment” will happen– so wandering and being flexible and open to ideas is important.
