Fuji Film Neopan Acros 100

This is Fuji's premier black and white film, in my opinion. When I shoot it and develop it in Caffenol, it looks marvelous. It's my favorite black and white film/developer combination. They stopped making it a couple years back, (to my dismay!), but fortunately I picked up about 50 rolls before it disappeared.

This is the bell that used to be in the Ebenezer Methodist Church, which was founded in 1838. The church was raized back in the early-1980s, but the cemetery remains. I often go to the cemetery to get pictures, as it's only about a mile from my house.

Each year in my little town, the high school seniors go on a week-long trip to Washington, D.C., and the juniors get to paint their names on the side of this building. They used to paint them on the viaduct before it was torn down. I got to paint my name on the viaduct a long time ago, and still a long time before they tore it down around 1996 or so. These names were part of the Class of 2017.
