Proof positive I'm a deeply sad person deep down, I've been so busy this summer it's nearly completely passed-me-by. And that makes me feel sad. Another cycle begins to close—another time around the fire. And so, the shadows lengthen. And so here, another installment of my horribly kept-up film-roundup from the past few months.

A roll of Kodak Portra 160, slowly exposed over a few months, wound back, and exposed again—a haphazard personal-life metaphor.
WHAT THE HELL
In Carpenter's cult-classic film Big Trouble in Little China, an American guy runs-amuck in a Chinatown run by mysticism and sorcery. I'm pretty sure it was implied it was Chinatown SF, but LA's little China did not disappoint. I'm executing a new rule I made for myself—new city, new subjects—photo walks shooting outside my comfort zone.
Also Yang Chow was dope.
Grain, Leaks & Double Exposure
All the things that make shooting film hard, are the things I generally enjoy about it. Sometimes I bring out my old Minolta XG-1 and carry it all day just for a few exposures—other days none, and I just cruise. These photos are all from one roll of Ilford 400 C-41 Process that I got done at the local CVS next to my office. I force myself to do this, taking very few photos, to force myself to parse what I really enjoy, and what I absolutely don't. It helps with the self-loathing. I can take hundreds of digitals and teach myself to hate them all.
