ADDENDUM: I guess just pasting in the flickr link into the reblog editor is a decent enough work around… I guess. I still like it better the way it used to be.
Let’s Go to Boston
What do you say, wanna go into Boston for a post-dinner walk tonight? I do!
Full discloser, I only have something like three film photos left over from the one previous time I had a film camera in the city with me, and those three pics (including this one you see here) are awful and a total waste and not at all worth sharing, but I really want to share something new because that’s what I do with these film photo things, right?
Anyway, here are a couple that have already been shared… just cause.
So what do you say, wanna go into town for a walk tonight? Let’s go!
One goal for a photo walk in Boston is to try to recreate this photo. I took this with my old Kokak point and shoot back in 2005 and I want to do it again and possibly improve it? I want to do it on film and on digital.

Morning Photos and Car Music
I pulled double duty this morning and it might throw off my whole day.
I went out early for car music, but on my way there I stopped downtown for some film photos. I took my Nikon and Dad’s zoom lens and finished the roll that was in the camera. I went to the dam and our little downtown shopping area and took a few pictures. I did not bring my mirrorless camera, but I did bring my point and shoot, just so I could have something to post here.
The sunlight was really nice for a change. It was a good day to go out.
After a short trip downtown I went to the movie theater parking lot and put vocals on three songs. I could have done two more but my voice was starting to get tired and I wanted to get home for some breakfast and a shower before work.
The one thing I failed to do this morning was my 30 minutes of exercise. I am going to have to get that in a piece at a time throughout the day. I failed to close my exercise ring on Saturday, and I failed to close my move ring (calorie counter) on both Saturday and Sunday. That ends today. No more missing rings, even if I do have a day where I am feeling sick. August starts tomorrow and I want another perfect month.
Until then, here’s the obligatory clock pic.
Film Shopping
Should I go over to amazon and order some less expensive not-quite professional film like Kodak Gold or ColorPlus, or should I buy fewer rolls of better, professional level film like Kodak Portra 400 or Ilford HP5?
Probably go with the cheaper stuff. I am a super amateur hack, after all.
That’s the Everest ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. From a distance, of course. I don’t think we’re going to spend much time at Animal Kingdom when we go back in September. Half a day, maybe? We had it all planned out but I haven’t updated the calendar yet. I’ll get to it soon, of course.
Film is fun, but it’s expensive. I remember when it was super cheap. Back in the old days, before digital cameras.
Stormtrooper on Film
Here’s a shot of a stormtrooper on film.
I put it on the film blog too. Why? I just don’t want it to die. If I can’t just reblog from one to the other, I will once in a while just post to both.
I didn’t go out this morning. I have done my exercise and had my breakfast. I am going to take a shower and then work on music. That’s the plan. I want to go to Boston. I doubt I will, but I want to. Maybe just go for a walk during golden hour and snap a few pics? We’ll see. There’s a golden hour before sunset too, not just after sunrise. We’ll see.
Film
Where should I bring the film cameras tomorrow? I was thinking of downtown Lowell, or downtown Andover, or any other place that I mentioned 20 times in blog posts over the last week.
But… what about Boston? Early on a Sunday morning before anyone gets up or anyone who isn’t insane drives into town. Do I dare?
Here’s a pic from Disney World because I think my film only blog is dead now that reblogging was screwed up by a WordPress.com code change that no one asked for. Or at least one that I didn’t ask for.
AT-AT
ADDENDUM: Yup, this is my last reblog. Now the question is, does the film blog die a slow death as the main blog starts getting all the film posts? That seems likely. Thanks for nothing, wordpress.com.
Addendum: WordPress.com seems to have changed the reblog editor. Doesn’t this just suck? Next time I’ll put the image first and see how that goes, but if it’s not going to display the image in the reblog snippet, I am not going to cross post anymore. The image is the whole point. Shit.
Two Things
Two things to note. First, we’re going back to Disney World in September. It’ll be just for a few days and I haven’t decided if I am bringing a film camera again. Second, I sent two rolls of film to the lab! New film shots coming soon, I hope!
