Foolish gibberish
Saturday’s blog post left me with all sorts of emotions and weirdness. I need to get it off of my home screen. I am not in the mood to write lately so here is a photo for you. I took this at Portland’s Japanese Gardens a few weeks ago.
I’ve been doing very well with my goal of shooting a roll of black and white film a week and developing it. This particular roll is the discontinued Fuji Neopan 400.
