Sign for a gelateria, completely encased in colorful flowers. An older couple sits in the shade below the sign.

A colorful botanical garden walkway. Flowers line both sides of the path. A couple can be seen walking in the far distance.

Black and white photo showing the lighting and details in an ornate ballroom

Photo of some stone stairs in Victoria. A bicyclist is standing right on the left thirds line. Nice.

Accidental double exposure. I hate it, because I think the first photo, of the couple watching a street performer would've been banger, however a lot of people have told me they really like the double exposed version, so I'm posting it.

Difficult to want to post shots I'm proud of here when they often get randomly missed by the automated photography feeds.

You've absolutely put more thought into this than I have. Glad you like it

Purple film photo of old industrial buildings turned into a park. A person jogs in front.

Similar to the previous, but depicting a crowd of acro yogis

I still haven't figured out the cause. Usually I just try again in a different browser, or wait and try again.
I should probably report it to support.

Looks like they didn't upload. Bsky does this to me all the time :/

Recently reprocessed this shot with my current color negative workflow. The new revision feels more true to life, and more accurate to the stock.

Definitely a much warmer look though, and it changes the feel significantly.

A decommissioned yellow school bus sits in an open field of deep green grass. An RV is similarly parked nearby.

Zoomed in crop of prior image, showing bus details.

I was used to a <1 week wait for scans at my original lab in Seattle (not Panda), but the quality was lacking and now I'm all home scan.
Scanning definitely seems to be Panda's bottleneck. They usually get my dev only orders done in < 48hrs

Black and white photo of a young store employee crouching down in front of the store and digging into the sidewalk brickwork with a screwdriver.

A man wearing semi-formal clothes sitting on a park bench. He looks like he's had a rough day, and is hunched over, pinching his forehead with one hand, while staring at his phone in the other.

Black and white photo of a storefront in Vancouver's Chinatown. Many goods are on display, with hand written signs labeling each.

Black and white photo of tourists in Vancouver's gas-town. Yeah, that is basically it. This photo sucks.
I think I just like the way the film rendered the striped outfit and woven tote bag. Is that so wrong?
