It’s also very flat.

I was able to get my hands on an old poem that I wrote - probably December 2004.
This was just after I recommitted my life to Christ.
“Change”
grey clouds and darkened skies in my dreams
like broken hymns, sung to the tune of angels screams
choirs, like fire under the mantle, spread the black against the wall
further away seemed closer to forever.
“Yet man dies not whilst the world, at once his mother and his monument, remains. His name is lost, indeed, but the breath he breathed still stirs the pine-tops on the mountains, the sound of the words he spoke yet echoes on through space; the thoughts his brain gave birth to we have inherited to-day; his passions are our cause of life; the joys and sorrows that he knew are our familiar friends—the end from which he fled aghast will surely overtake us also!
Truly the universe is full of ghosts, not sheeted churchyard spectres, but the inextinguishable elements of individual life, which having once been, can never die, though they blend and change, and change again for ever.”
What film / camera?
I usually use a Minolta SRT 201, but I dropped it recently.. and now it’s not working haha..
So I’m currently using my Minolta X-700 and yesterday I used Fujichrome Superia 400 and Kodak Gold 400 (nothing special), both expired however long ago.. third roll is from a few months ago when I was in Trinidad, don’t remember what’s on it.

Went to take photos with Jen yesterday.. this is an iphone pic taken by my wife while I was camera left. I’ll be getting the 2 rolls developed today, hopefully they came out hah.
Took this with the iphone today, the depth of field is from the iphone camera - pretty nice! Just changed the tones with instagram…
This is a nice idea.
“The Ghosts of My Friends is a quirky variation on the traditional autograph book. This little copy, is completely full, most entries dated around 1918”
