Recently I purchased and acquired via hand-me-downs some film developing equipment. Most people seem to think you need a darkroom to process black and white film but the opposite is true. You just need a dark place to transfer the film to the developing spools and after that you can do it basically anywhere!
So Alicia and I shot a couple rolls of Kodak Tri-X 400. Tri-X has always been one of my favorite films because even though it is kind of grainy it has very smooth gradients and varying degrees of contrast. When mixed with a variable grade black and white paper you can get some really nice tones on your prints.
This post contains shots from two different rolls of film shot on two different cameras. One was shot on my Nikon F100 and the other on my Nikon FA, both equipped with 50mm/1.8 lenses. Theres shots from my daily walk to work in Seattle, some from around Tacoma, a few from our cabin trip in Packwood and a couple from my portrait session with Susie Developed at home and scanned by the great people at The Find Lab in UT.
Take a look!
