“Hey, did you just park a car there‽”

“Yeah...”

There was no reply to our answer, just outstretched arms and a look of exasperation beneath a generic hat reading “SECURITY.”

Salisbury Beach, MA

A nice little spot near the northern end of Massachusetts where the wind blows in off the Atlantic and summer still feels alive despite the date on the calendar.

[35mm Ohio] Canon Point-And-Shoot Part 2

Experimenting with a Canon AF35MII once more. Loaded with Kodak Ultramax 400, I forgot to change the ISO setting from "200." The lab was kind enough to "pull" the film a stop for me. Still fairly happy with how things turned out. While the first roll from this camera showed "Hell is Real" on the road, this roll shows "Hell is Real" at home.

Akron's Innerbelt

I had Akron’s Innerbelt on my radar ever since a former coworker in the transportation industry told me about it a few years ago (thanks, Mark). While passing through over the summer, I snagged a few photographs with a basic point-and-shoot 35mm camera. Worried that the images wouldn’t turn out as well as I’d like, I shot a few frames of digital insurance as well.

The Skyborn & Melody Drive-In Theaters

A few years back, my friend Ryan and I wanted to put on our own “Guerrilla Drive-In.” We had a film picked out, a potential projector to use, a location scouted, and a vague idea of the logistics.

[35mm Ohio] Cars

Never had much appreciation for cars outside of utilitarian purpose.

Never saw those Disney movies.

Have seen Days of Thunder many times, though.

[35mm Ohio] A Rock Garden, The Road, & Columbus

I finished off a roll of Portra 400 in the Pentax, then switched to a fresh roll in the Minolta. Prior to this, I had pretty much timed my film consumption with the travel. I’d start a new roll when leaving and end a roll or two before pulling into home. That always seemed to work out story-wise—perfect for the usual, overwhelmingly digital format of QC/D where images tend to flow right along with the narrative.

[Kings Waffle] Chapter 8: It's Been a Minute

After years of sitting at the low counter and the “stoop” (curb) out front with everyone, I started writing about Waffle House, our Waffle House. At the time, I needed that specific Waffle House more than ever.
