I opened my Yashica-12 to load film to find I was part way through a forgotten roll. D'oh! Here's one of the non-fogged images I made before I set the camera aside. No idea where I took this. Arista EDU 100 in F76+ 1+9. #believeingilm #filmphotography

I went to a film photography meetup at a brewery near Downtown. Apparently at this brewery, pets are not just welcome, they're encouraged. This cat was content to stay perched on its owner's shoulder the whole time. Nikon FE, 50/1.8 Series E, Ilford HP5+ at 1600, HC-110 B. #filmphotography

This is an estate down the street from my neighborhood. Is this a short way of saying "have her way"? What does this mean? Pentax Spotmaitc SP II, 24mm f/3.5 SMC Takumar, Fujicolor 200. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

Indy's Old Northside is simply gorgeous. It wasn't 30 years ago when I moved to town -- you didn't want to live here. Canon New F-1, 50/1.8 Canon FD S.C., Kodak Plus-X, Clayton F76+ 1+9. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Pontiac's flourishes on the Camaro body weren't fooling anyone. But man, ain't that front end just great? Pentax 645, 75/2.8 SMC Pentax-A 645, Kodak Portra 400.

I wonder if that is the same as this one I saw recently. Lots of identical details but obvs different wheels.

Been playing with a donated Canon New-F1 and 50/1.4 lens. I think the lens might sometimes stick wide open, as images are often overexposed with shallow DOF. Like this image of a bridge in Fort Wayne. Kodak Plus-X in Rodinal 1+25. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

If it seems like all I'm sharing lately is old-car pics, it's because all I've been shooting lately is old cars. I ❤️ old cars! Yashica-12, Kodak T-Max 100, Clayton F76+ 1+9. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

Always a bummer when a new-to-me old camera isn't working properly, especially when I felt sure it would work and I shot some things I'd have to drive four hours to shoot again. Them's the breaks. Minolta Hi-Matic 7s on Fujicolor 200. #filmphotography #believeinfilm
