Developed my first roll in a few years. Ilford HP5+ pushed to 800 using Ilfotec HC. Ended up with five keepers. Messed up the emulsion on about half the roll. Not sure what I did. Hopefully I’ll do better in the future but I’m not mad about it. Five keepers is good enough for me. I prefer the film aesthetic to my Q2M photos when comparing them side by side. Both have similar tones but the film just has that vibe all the nerds talk about.
Go 100 ft below sea level or up to 8,000 feet and play in the snow. In between you can roll around in a sand dune and clean off by skinny dipping in a spring. I’ve been to about 30 national parks. Death Valley is my favorite so far.
In Death Valley will change your perspective on life. Just look up and see how insignificant you are.
It’s glorious. Go enjoy the beauty and take a piss in a clean restroom or stop in the middle somewhere for a nice bite in a restaurant.
Until you go to Central LA. Just drive down Vermont and Western and enjoy the scenery.
Feels like 1,091,105 on a Saturday night. God bless the sol.
How many different types of birds are out there in the trees? Always talking a lot of shit and waking me up.
the day your life changes forever.
It’s the goal
Every man needs a hobby. See those dudes obsessed with having sex with as many women possible? No hobbies. The ones depressed. No hobbies. Unhealthy, overweight? No hobbies. Hobbies are crucial to the well being on men.
