First, I want to apologize for not being able to find the time to visit your posts these past few weeks. Too much travel, even for good things, has had me desperately wishing for down time. I know you all get that. The good news is that we got to visit the Obama Presidental Center and Museum last week. This image was taken from the Nelson Mandela Sky Room.

The Nelson Mandela Sky Room sits at the top of the 225-foot museum tower, which is on the 8th floor of the Museum Building. The Sky Room offers panoramic 360-degree views of Jackson Park, Lake Michigan, and Chicago’s South and West Sides, as well as the gorgeous Griffin Museum of Science and Industry (shown here). The building is one of two left standing from the 1983 World’s Columbian Exposition.

A Simple Arrangement

While walking along the shore of Pettit Lake in Idaho, I discovered this simple arrangement surrounded by the patterns created by thin ice.

Park Bench

Image was taken with a Nikon N90s camera on Fomapan Retro 200 film then stand processed in Caffenol C-L for 70 minutes at 68 degrees. The image was then camera scanned using a Valoi Easy 35 and Fujifilm X-T5 camera.

This is my first experience with Fomapan film and to my eyes the grain is a little coarse but there are so many variables when film is home processed without commercially manufactured developing chemicals.

Watch Your Step

This is my wife Terry who is really getting into film photography lately and she is doing her best to not trip on the tree roots and fall in the water 😊 She is also getting into developing the film with common household products rather than commercially manufactured developing chemicals.  Image was taken with a Nikon N90s camera on Fomapan Retro 200 film then stand processed in Caffenol C-L for 70 minutes at 68 degrees. The image was then camera scanned using a Valoi Easy 35 and Fujifilm X-T5 camera.
