Old friends

I realised this evening I had an unfinished roll of Blue Moon 400 film in my Minox C camera. I don't know how long it has been there, but this is a shot from the previous (and first!) roll I had put through that camera.

It was in early 2019 when a bunch of us got together to celebrate a birthday for another friend, not in this picture. We've all known each other for a long time, many decades, and we were all in our late sixties that day. Everyone in this picture is still alive and well but, sadly, the birthday boy has died since then; he was already ill on that birthday.

The film was a C41 colour film but I had underexposed it and did not like the resultant colours. This is a digital b&w conversion. I like the hazy grain in this.
