I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

New York of Another Time

I've been strolling around with my trusty 35mm rangefinder as I've been making my way through a small stash of 20 year old Kodak 800 speed film. Here are a few shots from my travels.
Although I recognize Fuji color films as being superior to Kodak films in every aspect, (color rendition, grain, spectral sensitivity latitude) I think I like the palette of colors created by Kodak film, at least for street photography. Different films for different uses I suppose. Kodak film (now remember the expiration dat for this film was marked 1990) seems to give warmer results that dare I say it, appear more retro or vintage. Just something I've experienced.

Best,


-S.

I can't tell you how tempted I am to ask the owner of that garage how much he'd take for that beautiful ol' Cadillac and in what sort of condition it's in. One day i'll have a nice old car like that. Nothing too fancy or flashy. Just something that's been used that I'll buy for cheap and invest some time and money into in order to fix it up and have it run like new.
