Huh?

Where did July go? I swear it was gone in a blink.

Here are some old scans. I’ve been trying to get a few frames from old rolls every time I go to Portland Darkroom. A good spread of eras with these. All on Tri-x 400. And probably my Minolta CLE with the 28mm lens, but hard to remember on the older photos.

I‘ve been having fun dialing in my settings on the x100. I'm feeling good about a couple color options and a black and white option. Trying not to over think it and trying to do zero post processing.

A couple weeks ago there was an interesting skate event in town call Adjacent. Kind of building on what Slow Impact does in AZ. I had to work all weekend so I only made it to a couple panels, and I missed all the fun evening activities like skate trivia. One thing I caught was Taj Hanson's presentation on place making instead of skatepark building. It was a longer version of his paper session at Slow Impact. It was cool to see Taj's ideas shown in this way. And he and Nick Pelster showed some plans for The Courts 2.0 on the PSU campus. Looks like fun.

I'm eagerly awaiting some good mail in the form of a book of poetry by my friend Kristin Lueke. Order one for yourself here.

Until next time, it might have been.
