June 23rd -

I awoke early to realize I hadn't put the garbage bins on the street.
Jumped out of bed to do so, then decided to make the most of the morning.
David Mingay and I have a challenge going, so on my way to work I haunted some of my favorite locales with nothing but my K1000 and Sunny 16.
I bracketed a few shots and blew right through the roll of 24 and reeled up the canister.
At lunch I dropped it off for developing.
Out of all the shots I took this morning, this is the one that sucked the least!
I under exposed more of the roll than I care to admit... apparently I could use a brush up on my sunny 16 technique...

This does have a cool retro look, but that's part the subject matter and part funky way-out-of-date Polaroid roll film (some investigation suggests this was rebranded Agfa...)


other sizes: small medium large auto

Looks like Andre's sell a bit of a limp burger. btw If Polaroid 200 is repackaged Agfa Vista, I have a roll of that exp 2004 from an ebay purchase... must give it a go!
