Back in the Game, on 35mmc
I've started playing the Photo Game again, and I wrote about it for 35mmc.
If you've been reading here for a while, you know the rules. Every week there's a prompt. You shoot it, develop it, scan it, and turn it in. Miss a week, you're out. I lasted about ten months the first time, and I learned more about exposure, developing, and scanning in those months than in any other stretch since I started shooting film. I missed having an assignment, so I asked my wife to revive it with me.
The first prompt was flowers. I shot a roll of T-Max 100 on the Rolleiflex and developed it in DD-X. In the post, I walk through four frames: wild sunflowers at Daniels Park, a barn at Chatfield Farms, a prickly pear cactus, and a brick silo I'm pretty happy with. None of them are portfolio-quality. That's fine. The point is that I went out and made photographs, which is something I'm more likely to do when I have an assignment.
