Black & White Film

Several months ago, I dusted off and got back to shooting with a mid 1970s Minolta XE-7, loaded with Kodak T-Max 400 black and white film, through a 50mm lens. I think the recipe works well, I've always liked the results. I'm a sucker for this camera — I've had one since I was 19, and I've currently got three bodies (including the first one bought used in '91), two of which are in good working order, and a handful of lenses, though I rarely use any but the standard Minolta Rokkor 50mm.

Anyway, I set up a new gallery for black & white film photos, and I'll post the best results of my b&w film adventures there.

The photographs in the set I'm starting with were made in Los Angeles, Big Sur, Monterey/Carmel, and Oakland, CA, shot between early December 2016 and early March 2017. The rolls of film that these photos came from were developed and scanned to digital by Photoworks SF, and have been posted here without any editing or touching up.
