Scenes from a Shopping Cart Corral

220/365

It’s the day before Easter and the crazies are out in droves. I went to a Kohls, a Target, and a Market Basket and cannot get over how much stupid is out there today.

I also went to a thrift store to drop off a big bag of clothes that don’t fit anymore. I looked for camera gear and I almost bought something. There was a Nikon film point and shoot camera for $20. I think if it had been $10-15 I would have gone for it.

Notes

Sunrise at Salisbury Beach tomorrow is at 6:14 AM.

The temperature around sunrise will be 29-30 degrees. Brrr.

The sky is forecast to be mostly clear.

Are those conditions good enough to go take some sunrise pictures? The time and the sky look good. 29-30 degrees is a little off putting, but if I wear a warm jacket and take gloves with me… it’s doable.

I remain undecided though. We’ll see.

If I go I will take my Z5 and the 40mm lens, and Dad’s K1000 with the 50mm lens. I would bring a second roll of film in case I get into it and crank out the last 20 shots in the current roll and still want to shoot more. The current roll is color (Fuji Superia 400 at box speed) and a potential second roll would be black and white (Kentmere 100? Or should I try a roll of 400 instead?).

In the immortal words of Commander Data in The Best of Both Worlds Part II, “processing… processing…”.
