nevermind the darkness - Ilford fp4

Few things, real quick:
Going to shoot more black and white than I thought. Winter is a bit yuck for color sometimes and it just opens up more chances to shoot. Thoughts lately feels now good for some Lomo-type stuff though, so I’ll try to work that in too, but only if it’s good enough. The wacky colors of the holidays could be interesting on wacky rolls.
Shooting film feels a bit more seasonal (besides being circumstantial) than I gave it credit. I’ll put that in better words someday.
And speaking of seasonal!…Did you know you can help support me this holiday season to create more film photography? Visit here to learn more!
Can’t support financially? That’s alright, sharing is free! Cheers.

I’ll try to start blogging more images here as well as on social media, as it is a bit limiting in presenting work and my friends tell me I like to talk a lot. I turned back to film for daily work recently: refreshing, brain twisting, highly recommended to stretch the muscles.
My parents’ Canon AE-1 50mm FD f/1.8, Ilford fp4 125 pushed one stop, reflx lab meter, labo and scan: reportage-image. Two test rolls. May post the duds one day (only one here cause there was some weird ‘me double exposure/I-don’t-know-what + lab/development’ and it looked cool.
