Canon AE1 with Ilford HP5+ on a walk near Nantes, October 2016 — from the Film Archives series on IJM Photography. What makes archive photographs resonate is the combination of subject and the physical qualities of the film: the grain structure of HP5+, the slight imperfections in developing and scanning that a digital file will never replicate. A photograph that oozes peace is one where the photographer felt at peace. See the series: The Opening of the Film Archives on IJM Photography.

This is an image that was shot with my Nikon FM, then developed using Cinestill 96 at home. I scanned the negative with my Fujifilm GFX 100s using a Loawa 100mm 2X Macro lens. The sculpture is located in Duluth, MN. I had issues with the film not rolling properly on the developing spools and lost all but a dozen images out of two rolls of 36 exposures. The survivors had interesting artifacts as part of the issues.
