Shirley and Moviola
I’ve known Shirley for something like 35 years. We met up with her at Dromfest. Here she is shooting video of Moviola. She’s dating the drummer, who she was also in a band with back in the 1990s. Pentax 17, Harman Phoenix II, ECN-2 development.

Finally got around to hanging the #SteveKeene painting we bought at #Dromfest. His famous album cover paintings were too big to haul back, but I like this one because it's unique. $20 well spent!

This is where Dromfest was held. It’s a little dive bar and restaurant, holds maybe 200 people if you squeeze in really tight. Dromfest was a lot of fun. Leica R4, Film Ferrania P33, Rodinal 1:50.

I used my Rollei 35AF loaded with Ilford Delta 3200 for indoor shots at Dromfest. Honestly, it didn’t work very well. Most of the shots look kind of abstract. I love grain, but they’re maybe even too grainy for me. Anyway. Thalia Zedek was amazing.

Last band on was Yo La Tengo, playing to ~100 of us lucky (sweaty) souls. I had a, uh, “peek-a-boo view”, but no matter. It was a treat. Lots of rarely-played tunes, incl more than one from Ride the Tiger.
