On a lark, I shot Harmon Phoenix II through the 81-B filter I got for Ektachrome, and the results blew me away! The very definition of "punchy". Not for every situation or everybody, but I think I might love it.

Not posting enough XA lately. I shot a ton on the XA over the last few months, but mostly for private personal events.

Here are some impersonal snapshots, that I think might be a vibe(?)

Sign for a gelateria, completely encased in colorful flowers. An older couple sits in the shade below the sign. A colorful botanical garden walkway. Flowers line both sides of the path. A couple can be seen walking in the far distance.

Black and white photo of a dinner party in an ornate ballroom Black and white photo showing the lighting and details in an ornate ballroom Photo of some stone stairs in Victoria. A bicyclist is standing right on the left thirds line. Nice. Accidental double exposure. I hate it, because I think the first photo, of the couple watching a street performer would've been banger, however a lot of people have told me they really like the double exposed version, so I'm posting it.

Recently reprocessed this shot with my current color negative workflow. The new revision feels more true to life, and more accurate to the stock.

Definitely a much warmer look though, and it changes the feel significantly.

Black and white photo of a young store employee crouching down in front of the store and digging into the sidewalk brickwork with a screwdriver. A man wearing semi-formal clothes sitting on a park bench. He looks like he's had a rough day, and is hunched over, pinching his forehead with one hand, while staring at his phone in the other. Black and white photo of a storefront in Vancouver's Chinatown. Many goods are on display, with hand written signs labeling each. Black and white photo of tourists in Vancouver's gas-town. Yeah, that is basically it. This photo sucks. I think I just like the way the film rendered the striped outfit and woven tote bag. Is that so wrong?

Rare digital post of some buildings in Vancouver BC

Black and white photo, tightly zoomed into the side of a curved high-rise apartment building. The edges of the building cannot be seen, just endless rows of balconies. A photo of three glass sided high-rises being built across from a channel of ocean water. Cranes appear next to each building.

Black and white photo shot between the branches of several trees. Two people stand on an unseen platform in the trees, as the young man in the foreground points something out. IDK, I just really like the "tonez" on this one. Portrait orientation punched in crop of the prior image to show detail.
