I like to take photographs on film and print them in a darkroom. I value kindness, empathy and compassion for others.
Pavement Games - Old Havana

This was taken during recess week. During the school year, these kids would be marching around in smartly pressed uniforms.

The City Museum in St Louis is a great place for street photography. Taken with a Tele-Rolleiflex on HP 5+.

I stole this from Aoife Moore, an Irish journalist: You know why there is no such thing as an English Exit? Because they’ve never left anywhere without being asked repeatedly to leave! #colonialism #imperialism #england

Just got a package from Germany the other day with a Rolleinar II and a Rolleinar III. Took them out for a spin today. Can’t wait to see how the negatives scan. #Rolleinar #6x6photography

This might be a little late, but, USAID got its start in 1961 to foster cooperation and pro-US sentiment in developing nations in the face of Soviet expansionism. #usaid

Complete Instructions in Photography - Sears, Roebuck & Co.

To give you an idea of how old this pamphlet is, consider that the types of available cameras at the time listed are: box cameras, folding hand cameras, view cameras and portrait cameras. The negatives discussed are made on glass.

The buildings in the rear view mirror are no longer there. They were hoarded and left vacant to rot for years before the developer finally took them to make room for a high rise. People could have lived there.

If there really is a deep state, why hasn’t B613 not yet seen fit to replace the current administration? If you’ve seen Scandal with Kerry Washington you will know what I mean. #scandalseries #kerrywashinhton

In connection with the recent talk about some central and southern Illinois counties wanting to secede, could we use the savings associated with shedding those “taker counties” to invest in real education reform in Cook County? Or “acquire” St Louis and invest in it? More high speed rail?

I don’t do a lot of color, but once in a while a roll makes its way into one of my cameras.

Earlier today this was a can of Eagle Borden’s Sweetened Condensed Milk. After a three-hour bath in boiling water, it has become dulce de leche, aka joy in a can. Who has a good recipe for alfajores?

This is from the southern coast of Oregon, taken a few years ago during a workshop put on by Steve Anchell.

Donde esta mi gente del Uruguay y de Argentina? This is a mate setup. The gourd is new. The “bombilla” is old and was given to me by my Tia Eler who received it from her mother.

A few examples of what might happen when you play with ferricyanide in the darkroom.

Made the negative for this a few years back. Rollei Superpan 200. I think it printed nicely. Does anyone else on this app make darkroom prints?

I made this during the 45th administration, but kept it to myself. Now he’s back, by the slimmest of margins and is amping it up. It’s very sad to see that this is where we are going.

I am slowly coming to terms with leaving Meta. There are some photography groups on FB that I will miss. Is there anything like that on this app?
