Photography – Q4 2024

Catching up with a few more rolls of film I shot in the waning months of 2024.

The first was a roll of Kodak Max 400, which surfaced in a box after our move. Given where I found it, I think the roll may have been sitting unused for ten years or more, and sure enough, the results were pretty damaged. I’d half-expected as much, so I just shot with abandon, but I’m still happy with some of the results (after working it over a little in post).

The second roll was my more usual Kodak Portra 400.

All shot on a Nikon FM-2.
