Road Trip Rolls #3–7
I’d been reluctant to develop the remaining six rolls from our September road trip, thinking they were ruined (details), but this month I finally decided to go for it. Sadly, one roll may’ve been lost in the mail, but the rest almost make up for it!
These were shot on various types of film (color, slide, and redscale), with some multiple exposures and unplanned-but-awesome camera weirdness.
Road Trip Roll #1
After our September road trip, I found I had accidentally shot most of seven film rolls with a macro lens (six-inch focus) while framing for a wide-angle lens on my Diana. I had fortunately taken some extra shots with my DSLR, but it was painful to lose the others.
We decided to develop only the first roll as a test, and it was worth it. Among the blurry images was one unexpectedly perfect shot, which just happened to be symbolic of the place we’d call home a few months later.
The fog-enveloped Golden Gate Bridge.
Also on the roll were some older photos from a day at the beach during the summer. This shot of Oliver is one of my favorite photos of him, ever. He’s exactly as crazy and mischievous as you’d imagine from that expression.

The next roll will have to wait until our wallets recover from Christmas. I’m nervous to see what the others turn up, but this one gives me hope!
