Break On Through To The Other Side

Several months ago I developed 4 rolls of film and hung them up in the office to dry.

In the intervening time, a great deal of things happened resulting in that room being a dangerous place to walk for several months.  I had some time over the weekend. I did some work in that room and got to the point where I could safely move about in there.  I cleared off the desk and started cutting and scanning film.

These rolls cover 4th of July both 2024 and 2025, my trip to Lake Michigan in 2024, Yellowwood State Forest in 2024 and a bit from 2025 and the Rushville Steam Engine show from 2025.

Here are a few of the scans.  They won't be labeled as to what is what, but I'll fill in the holes once the scanning is done.

 

There are a handful of pictures from at least 6 different days on 4 rolls.

We're On A Roll

This afternoon I ordered a Kodak Ektar H35, which is a half-frame 35mm point and shoot camera.

The one I ordered is "Sage Green." 

 

It should be here in a couple of days. I plan to take it around on a nice day in the next week or two and also take it on a short vacation to Lake Michigan in August. 

Anyway, it will be an interesting thing to use. Since it uses half the frame, I can get ~72 pictures from a 36 exposure roll of film, which sounds both good and frustrating, since I often struggle with a roll of 36 in one go. 

The other thing about half frame means the pictures are the opposite way. If you hold the camera the standard way, the pictures are in portrait format as opposed to the standard landscape format, so that will require some re-thinking about how I frame everything.
