Kodak Tri-X 400

This is the side of a local building downtown where the Juniors always get to paint their names on it when the Seniors are gone away on their trip each May. Legal graffiti, in other words! The camera I used was so cheap, the manufacturer didn't even bother to name it or list who manufactured it. The camera is simply called, "35mm Camera." I did pick it up for $1 and it was brand new and never been opened or used - and it works pretty good, considering. I had attempted to use this half roll of cut-down Tri-X on Monday and Tuesday in a Kodak 154 Instamatic 126 camera, but issues prevented the film from winding correctly, so no frames were exposed but the first one. I'm certain that's where the light leaks originated from. Stand developing it for an hour and a half really helped to lower the grain. That was my first time trying such a long developing time, so I'm definitely going to have to try it again.

I was out and about yesterday, running errands and trying to finish this roll of film. One of the errands I had to do was to go to the tire store and get a new front tire.
