may 2024
These are the keepers from a few rolls of 35mm that I exposed back in May. The color film is Kodak Gold and the monochrome is XP2 Super. They were taken in Charlottesville, Richmond and Washington DC, which is to say, the usual haunts.
cambridge, uk
I was in Cambridge for a few days in May and managed to take a few photos in-between sessions at the conference I was attending. Here are the keepers.
april 2024 — roll 2
I think this was a roll of Ilford XP2 Super. I shot it on my Leica, as usual, and all of these were taken in places around Charlottesville.
savannah, georgia
Back in April, my wife and I took a short trip to Savannah, Georgia while my kids were with their grandparents. We did our usual thing: wandered on foot and ate as much as we could. It was a good time and I took my fair share of pictures. These, I think, are the best of the bunch. The square format photos are film (Ilford XP2 Super and Kodak Gold 200) taken on a Yashica-D. Everything else is digital, taken with a Lumix GX8 that met its maker soon after the trip.
april 2024 — roll 1
These are the keepers from the first roll of film I shot this past April. It was Kodak Gold 200 and I used, as always, my Leica M4-P. The photos are mostly from around Charlottesville but there’s one at the end that I took in Deerfield, Massachusetts. One of the things I was trying to do, with this roll, was play with color blocking, as you’ll see.
new orleans
I took a very brief trip to New Orleans this past March — for a fun (for me) conference on Reconstruction and constitutional law — and had just enough time to wander and take a few pictures. Here are the frames, which came from most of a roll of Kodak Gold 200 in my Yashica-D. I also had a few snaps with my (now-departed) Lumix GX8.
grand rapids
I was in Grand Rapids, Michigan a little while ago for a panel. I had one free hour to walk around downtown and take a few pictures. Here are the keepers!
staunton
The boy and I spent the day in Staunton a few months ago. We visited a museum, had lunch and walked around. It was a good time! Here are the keepers from a roll of film I shot. I believe this was Ilford XP2 Super, taken on a Leica M4-P.
This was a 19th century structure at the Frontier Culture Museum.
The old sanatorium, off limits to the public.
The Staunton courthouse.
The Camera Heritage Museum, which has a massive collection of old cameras and a very…eccentric owner.
The Shenandoah Valley School of the Deaf.
A different angle on the courthouse.
photos from last year that i finally scanned a week ago
I took all of these on my Crown Graphic with Kodak Ektar film at some point last year, around late October and early November. I forgot about them for a few months, finally got them developed at the start of April and scanned them last week. Out of ten sheets of film, I have five keepers, which isn’t too bad all things considered. Let me know what you think.
The Pratt Ginko at UVA.
The old Monticello Hotel.
Mel’s Diner.
A building in Belmont.
Christ Episcopal Church.
petersburg, va.
I recently used a free Friday to take a drive down to Petersburg, walk around and make a few photos. Here were the keepers.
