Hello, everyone!
I hope you are doing well.
We are four matches away till the end of the MAGA World Cup, when I fully expect the TSA to confiscate the trophy and send it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to please Donnie the Bigboy Orange Felon. Well, I don’t “fully expect” that, but there’s a non-zero chance of it happening.
Since I posted last time, the little dude has turned five.
Here’s him at 10 month old predicting how old he was gonna be in 50 months.
Yesterday, we fulfilled his grandparents’ wish to buy him a bike as his birthday gift. He’d be riding his balance bike for almost three years now. We got home yesterday, and unloaded the bike from the car. I immediately took off the back-up wheels of the bike. I asked him to get on for a ride, and he did. And that’s how I taught the little dude how to ride a bike. It took five minutes. Somethings are just easy I guess. I didn’t know how to ride a bike till I was 13. Keep your judgement to yourself, please!
If you’ve been follow this Substack for a while, you’d know HP5 is my go-to film stock. And I was shocked recently to learn that the price of HP5 had gone up by nearly 50 per cent, which makes it more expensive than Tri-X. So I decided to lay off HP5 and shoot some Kodak. Here are a few from my recent roll, which could the last in a while.
The halfsie. A pretty good one, too, if you ask me.
Sliver of sun.
The beer cup.
The International Bar.
Kegtown.
Da bug.
One day, I will have the perfect bird on wire shot, one day!
Main Street.
OERE
Scooooooooooot.
The ghost of reflections.
Reflection by the canal.
And that’s it for today! Thank you for stopping by and have a good week!
A bummer about HP5, I hadn’t noticed that yet, but I’ve still got one roll in the fridge. Love that Scooter shot, I’m such a damn sucker for those, especially shots of the dials on the front handles on anything pre 90’s.
A great set - I do like that halfsie and the canal reflections.
