marchers walk into the sunshine on waterloo bridge. can see the imax theatre in the background. there's graffiti on the side of the bridge, the nearest of which reads "blame"

b&w photo taken on the strand looking into the sun so the crowd of marchers are slightly backlit silhouettes as they move in to trafalgar square. overhead we can see the frame for the christmas lights

or rather, it's very nice and i think cheaper per roll than portra 400 even shipped from japan, but so far the greens just don't have that pop old fuji film did

It will be a while before I have time to finish off the rolls that are in my cameras now & develop them, so I am going to post shots from the five rolls I just got back daily until I run out of frames I like.

omgggg

gravesounds @wavesounds.bsky.social · 7h

even this can't do it justice, turning around you would see it continue all the way across waterloo bridge up to the strand, and still that's only a small part of it
