The Charles

Two weeks ago I took a bag full of cameras to Boston to shoot some film for the Frugal Film Project. I got half way though things and had to leave to go home for something. It was the day after the 4th of July and I wanted to walk along the Charles River by the Esplanade.

Today I went back. I also stopped at Acorn Street and wandered around Arlington and Berkeley Streets near where I used to go to school. I shot a roll of Kentmere 100 in my Lubitel for the Frugal Film thing. I also had most of a roll in my Nikon N90. I loaded it at Sail Boston last week and only shot a few pics before it was too dark for film. Finally, I had a roll in my dad’s Pentax K1000 that I loaded in… April? May? I don’t remember. I finished all three rolls. 

When I got home I took those three rolls and three other rolls that I finished over the last two weeks and sent them off to get developed.

While I was in town I also shot a bunch of stuff with my Digital camera. My Nikon Z5. Here come some highlights.

I was using the 70–210mm zoom so I could take pics of things that were really far away

There is a chance that one of the film pics I took of this fountain has a rainbow in it but I think I missed it

One thought on “The Charles

  1. What a wonderful photographic journey! 📷✨ I really enjoyed how this post blends nostalgia, craftsmanship, and the simple joy of wandering through familiar places. Your visit to Acorn Street and the streets around your old school gives the story a personal warmth that makes it much more than a photography outing.
