Two images from my aimless wandering around town.

I still haven't gotten my images from the processor. Thursday I picked them up and the disc was blank. I had to drive across town to make them do a do-over. Digital has it pluses.






I found a roll of Kodak Tri X of unknown age. I loaded it in my old Canon Rebel.

You didn't!! Just try to get that developed now days.
Major headache.
Wish that guy hadn't been sitting to the far right of the first image.
He seems to throw it off balance.

with this image was the bright color of his shirt. If he hadn't been there the boy in the entrance would have been more prominent.

Tri X has nice grain. This roll is ASA 100. I expect it to be very grainy due to its age. I hope it works. The mirror stuck up on the camera in a couple shots. I think I picked good subjects for a grainy film.

Kind of a shame to see film slowly go away.
Fortunately there are a few die-hards that can show how it's done.
When it comes to finished print, those folks are the artists.
