Home-developed Ilford HP5 ~ Yasicha A
This past week has been wild! In observance of my birthday this past Monday, I’ve been treating myself to some fun times with friends. My dear companion Shoshi made the trip up from New York City to spend a very action-packed weekend in New Bedford with me. Saturday night, we attended a killer show at Circa; I’ve visited the shop fairly frequently and although it’s quite dangerous for my wallet, I cannot say enough great things about this place. I always leave there with some lovely vintage treasures in hand, and the owner and staff are absolutely wonderful to chat with. Every now and again, they host shows featuring local bands, and due to my work schedule I never was able to attend until now.
During the afternoon I made my way half way through a roll of HP5, and despite the wild difference in light, I successfully killed off the roll during the show. I didn’t have a tripod handy so I took multiple exposes to compensate for the dim lighting. In the future I think I’d like to try instead pushing a full roll to get some clear photos, but I still enjoy these “drunk-goggle-esque” exposures from the evening. Most of all, I am so thrilled to have been present for some great performances by Carl Simmons and Germ House.
