At Photo Opp's rummage sale, I picked up four more very old rolls of Ilford's C41 Black and White film, XP2. It's not really experimenting since I already know what the film is like, but who can pass up that title? I didn't really have any concept in mind, so investigating outdated film is a good excuse to play pinhole. Since I've been trying not to get in an extreme wide-angle pinhole rut, I picked the 45mm Crackon, pretty darn wide-angle at 67 degrees, but still narrow in pinhole land.
At the end of Ames Point, a monument to Richard Ames, who led the movement to restore Millers Bay and the north end of the park. His grandson was in Andy's Cub Scout Pack.
The Facebook group Cycling for those aged 70+ seemed to consist mostly of pictures of people with the right bike wearing the right outfit, covering 100K rides with their club. I posted a picture in my t-shirt and sandals with my 50-year-old Takara Standard road bike, mentioning I got it with Gerald Ford's stimulus check. It got 350 likes and 13 comments, way more than I've ever gotten with a post about pinhole. Arriving home from the grocery store the next day, I took a picture with my bulging backpack, a 12-pack on the rack and a bag of chips hanging on the handlebars. I posted that I didn't hear much about grocery shopping on that forum. That got 500 likes and 100 comments! Should I say something about rollin' pinholin'?
Tempted by a lily in dappled light that didn't quite hold still.
The giant hosta in the back corner.
Herbs from the garden to go into chicken salad.
The jam group I've been playing with is on hiatus for a month, so I brought the Marshall home. An attractive addition to any decor.
The line of little tomatoes I've been following. You can't really tell here that they're ripening.
The arbor, which was completely bare two months ago, now totally covered by both roses and morning glory vines.
A little courtyard with nice light next to the original Oshkosh B'Gosh headquarters.
William Waters began his architectural practice just about the time Oshkosh burned down, so he designed half the buildings downtown. He is being honored by the construction of a gazebo that mimics his later Columbian Exposition neoclassical style. His massive earlier neoromanesque Post Office, City Hall, Courthouse and a few others were on this street, but only parking lots remain.
To get this roll finished, the arrangement that's been on my side table for at least a week, in its natural colors.
The Crackon has two .27mm hand-drilled pinholes, on the axis and 13mm above it, 45mm from a 6x6cm frame. The Super XP2 was semistand developed in Rodinal 1:100.
