Week 4 | A Year on Film: 52 Rolls in 52 Weeks

Week 4 | A Year on Film: 52 Rolls in 52 Weeks

West Seattle, Seattle, WA

Right after I posted the photos from Week 3, I walked outside to take a quick break for the computer and saw there was a classic car show on California Avenue one block north. As a child, one of the events I enjoyed most was going to Fair Park to watch the Grambling vs. Prairie View A&M football game. I looked forward to the battle of the bands (I used to want to be a drum major in the Grambling band so I could dance during halftime) and the car show. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve always appreciated a beautiful, well-made automobile. The subject for week 4 became readily apparent when I walked outside and saw all of these classics lined up. It also reminded me I need to get out more.

I think this was one of my most popular photos ever on Instagram. Image taken with Mamiya RB67 + Fujifilm Acros Neopan 100 and developed in Ilford Ilfosol 3.
