Fort McHenry National Monument

3 Fall Weekends
1920 1285 Liberty Thermionics

I had accumulated a few rolls of 35mm from over the last couple of months and got a chance to develop them last night. Here are a few frames from 3 different weekend outings around San Francisco from the ocean to the bay.

Weekday Morning Hill Hike
1920 1517 Liberty Thermionics

It’s definitely a bit exceptional (in the strict definition of the word) for us to be up on the hill around sunrise during a normal weekday morning.

South Fork of the Merced River
1920 1530 Liberty Thermionics

I’ve been preparing some pictures from a recent trip to Yosemite, we hadn’t been in several years and i brought a couple of different camera systems with me. I’d also planned to shoot some color film which isn’t something I usually do. Most color negative film uses a developing process called C-41. I’ve never done that at home before and…
