Followed this lightning bug for a bit while working on the backyard photo project. It flashed a few times to my delight.
At some point, I'll write the piece.

Petunia flower stem. Finally putting the Tokina 100mm macro to use on the Nikon N55. Autofocus not working, but I don't mind the slow pace.

A street directional sign is upside down with word 'only'. Adjacent to the sign pole is a streetlight with a portion of the lit lamp visible. The background is peppered with other lit street streetlamps and the W.W. Griest Building.

Take a mental break or a mental break will take you. First develop in over a month. Felt good to get back to the lab. Albeit a bit clumsy.

Feels like an eternity since my last develop two weeks ago. Longest break this year since developing this backyard shot back in December. I think.

Discovered some new sights and streets during a drizzly walk. Also got to take a closer look at this food truck and notched another payphone find.

A pay phone surprisingly in seemingly working shape. A coffee cup with a lid and sleeve sits in the phone cubby next to the wire. The outside of the cubby has faded stickers on it, one of them peeling at its corners.

Finally loaded up my backpack with some books for donation and the latest zine to disperse. Got zines in two libraries, gave one to a friendly group asking about my photography and traded another at the zine fest in town. More to deliver.

A little library filled with books at the edge of the photo frame with a fence and porch slightly out of focus in background. The photo scan has dust marks visible.

Dropped the negatives on the bathmat while hanging and didn't do the best job cleaning the cat hair and dust before the scan. Will now be hanging negatives on the left side of tub.

Did not realize I had used the old chemistry of df96 until pouring it back into the bottle and observed to myself, "That's dark". Negatives came out pretty faint but pleased with the scan setting tweaks.
