Morning fix

I posted my vision in the morning without a cup-a-joe yesterday.

This was the coffee I had this morning, french pressed right on the spot. Oh I soooo needed this. :DDD

Rodinal 1+100, 60 minutes "stand" developed.

For some reason, I'm getting back to this photo. I don't know why. When I saw him yelling something from the window, I just had to click.

Montmartre, Paris.


Chilly but nice weather for b/w photography (i.e. cloudly) today in SF. Took my Bonnie around the city and shot two 35mm rolls with my new lens and another lens I borrowed from my RFF friend Roland. Just came back home and developed the rolls. Let's see how they did. :) I'm not much of sharpness or contrast lover nor fuzzy toy camera digger. (nothing's wrong with them!) It's all about the "charm" they've got and the friendliness in use because I won't use them if they aren't friendly to me.

Time travelers

A quick darkroom print scanned with a flatbed.

Matt 'n flat

Matthieu in his super nice flat in Paris.

I'm off to darkroom now...

After the rain

Now back to the little alley in Paris. I love the rain in Paris. Well, SF one isn't so bad neither. ;) Japanese one is often super heavy and you'll get soaking wet in 10 seconds. :p

I've been cheap and doing only RC papers because it's quick all the way around (nothing's wrong with RC!), but finally started fiber based papers again. (well, it's been a long long time.) Oh I'm loving it. I think I'm gonna stick with FB this time because I now have space and equipments to wash and dry pretty quickly. Well, they aren't mine, but I can use them. ;)

See it a bit larger.

Thinker on the train

Oliv trying to figure out what to do with this little Americanized Japanese dude. ;)

From Paris with Love

I've been sick since the day I came back from Paris. I'm finally recovering from it so I'm slowly starting up the developing. I don't have my film scanner at the moment so I printed my touristy eiffel tower shot as post cards in darkroom. :D

Hopefully more shots coming up soon...

BTW, the photo has got nothing to do with that Travolta's new action movie whatsoever. :p
