Your daily reminder that the tRump regime is not only filled with authoritarian creeps. It’s got lots of eugenicists, too.

I try to snag shots of these aging ads when I see ‘em. Rarely restored, eventually they fade away or a new owner paints over ‘em. Last shot on a roll of Ilford Pan-F with the ol’ Agfa Ansco Shur-Shot B2.

Sifting through some negs I actually scanned before I forgot about them. Chicago, Summer 2022. Rolleiflex 3.5 with an ever-present yellow filter. Probably Ilford Delta 400.

A recent visit to the Como Conservatory reminded me I took a photo a while back with the Agfa Ansco B-2 Shur-Shot box camera. T’was in the sunken garden, now closed for renovation (reopening Jan. 12). A necessary double exposure, as there is only one shutter speed on these things.
