it’s been a while since i’ve been to an event just for the sake of being there…no goals no assignments no qoutas.  it’s been nice to get back to that.

the homie patrick martinez recently put together an amazing show at loft in space.  i was there to attend the opening reception, and snapped a few photos while i was there.  recently i’ve gotten back into processing my own black and white film…it’s been almost a decade since i’ve had to do this.   all the images in this post were shot on my canon EOS 1n, 50mm f/1.2, and ilford hp5+ pushed to iso 800 in my bathroom minilab.  the last time i dealt with d-76 chemistry regularly was in a different time zone, one where room temperatures were an even, d-76 standard 20C. chilling my developer in an ice bath aka my sink has been an adventure i guess?

expect more film-based photography here, along with the usual stuff. and happy holidays.
