Self portrait with my Polaroid SX-70 and Impossible Project instant film.  I’m annoyed that I’ve spent so much money on this damn crappy film, but sometimes the results are interesting.

Me in Alsace, France two years ago.  I’m excited to go to France again next month!
This shot is from a roll of Kodak Ektar 100 accidentally rated at 1600 and developed normally.  I posted more from this roll before and at the time said that I would like to try it again intentionally because the effect is interesting, but I have not done that yet.

Last weekend, I set up a tripod in my bedroom to practice portraiture with the evening window light.  I thought my Rolleiflex was loaded with Kodak Tmax 400 and I shot accordingly, intending to develop the film myself.  When finished, I was surprised to pull out a roll of Kodak Ektar 100.  I did not want to pay lab fees to develop the roll, so after some googling, I decided to soup the film in D-76 anyway - exactly as if it were Tmax 400 - and see what came out.  The results very pleasantly surprised me - tonally beautiful, free of grain, perfectly exposed, and easily scanned.  I may use Ektar this way intentionally in the future!  The only question is: would I be able to make darkroom prints with these negatives?

Portait of Sheena.  This is my absolute favorite combination for portraits: a beautiful face, window light, and my Rolleiflex.  Also, I love how relatively small-grained Ilford Delta 3200 film is in 120 format.

Candid portrait of my husband.  Light leak because I forgot I had film in the camera and opened the back (doh!)
