Fall Tree 2019

Every year since the 1970s, I photograph this tree at the edge of my town when the leaves turn at Autumn. This is a shot from 2019.

This was 35mm film that I respooled into a 126 cartridge. Instamatics always took more picture area on the negative than was printed out. Prints from 126 were always printed out to be square. So, I cropped this one to be square.
