[35mm Ohio] A Safari on the Shores of Lake Erie
Llamas, guanacos, and alpacas are not native to Africa.
Or Ohio, for that matter.

[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.

[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.

[35mm Ohio] "RN, like a nurse spells it"
It didn’t matter how much time I spent on the map, how many sources I had culled information from, how many friends I talked to, or how many recommendations I took to heart. I had the shape of Ohio formed via virtual pinpoints, destinations in every direction. But now, I couldn’t decide which direction to head. So the highway chose for me.
