The rain settles in. The skies at night overcast and heavy. Six more months...

Bernadette makes boudin noir. The Oyama Sausage Co. makes it periodically. You have to put your name on the list and you might get a call a few months later. Bernadette put her name on the list and I was lucky enough to be invited. So. Good.

Fig tree refuse. It's two weeks of daily raking, and a month or more of fruit flies feeding off the figs squished on the bottom of my shoes. Worth it, I think.

I haven't bought a loaf of white bread in decades. I lost a battle to a memory of a grilled cheese sandwich made with white bread and cheese slices (another thing I haven't bought in decades) and I made the classic white bread and processed cheese grilled sandwich. And I hate to admit it tasted better than I thought it would. Good even. But it's out of my system, and truthfully, it's not as good as an aged cheddar on homemade sourdough grilled cheese sandwich. I just didn't expect to be so close a runner up.

I made a vintage PB&J with the bread as well. It was, well, it was pretty bad. I guess frying a thing makes a difference.

Anyway, there won't be another loaf for another 20 years or so. If ever.

Handheld TMAX100 film at 1/15th f/2. Maybe low light is where this film excels. Maybe.

BIG Architects

The most interesting thing to happen to Vancouver architecturally maybe ever.

Film.

Kodak TMAX 100. One day I'm going to have to figure out better quality film scanning. One day.

I've had this camera a few years, but only recently re-acquired this model of lens. The old lens was lent to a friend, both have since disappeared. I've watched the internet for an affordable replacement. I almost had one a couple of times, but finally this one. It's a 35mm f/2, of decent quality, and nice and small. The camera is about as modern as it gets in the world of film.

Vancouver has been promised a few more days of sun, and it's been a while since I've shot film, and I've had this camera for way too long to not have used it properly, and I've missed that lens. So it's film again, for a week or so, or until the fall rain sets in.
