Let’s Go to Boston

What do you say, wanna go into Boston for a post-dinner walk tonight? I do!

See the Duck Boat?

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.

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.
