One of the newer stores downtown. This was only the second time I've able to use this camera, the first time with color film. The camera doesn't have a good reputation for being able to take great pictures, but it performed quite suitably for me.

A dozen members of my church and myself went to the Union Grove church camp and cooked lunch for the kids. There was about 150 kids who attended camp this year and they were a great bunch. We made lasagna for their lunch. Here's the crew that went - one guy wandered off before the photo was taken, and I'm not in it because I took it.

This photograph was taken 18 minutes before the sun rose, hence the title. This is our local reservoir, a popular fishing spot. Taken on April 9th, 2023, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77V DSLR.

Each year, the high school Juniors paint their names here on the side of the Lion's Club building. It's a long-standing tradition that goes back decades, to when they used to do it on the side of the old viaduct tunnel, which got torn down. The film for this shot was long expired, but still seems to have turned out all right. And it seemed appropriate to shoot Konica film in a Konica camera.
