Slow notes on film photography, early walks and cameras that fit in a coat pocket. Written whenever a roll comes back from the lab.

The light is flat and blue for about twenty minutes, then everything turns gold at once. You get maybe eight frames before the cyclists arrive.
Every year I think about buying a faster lens, and every year the old 50mm keeps doing the job. Notes on why the constraint helps more than it hurts.
Not archival, not perfect, but fast enough that I actually look at every roll the same evening instead of letting them pile up in a drawer.
