Heritage House with Fuji GW690ii and Ilford HP5+

Not sure what film this was, but I think it was Ilford HP5+. These were from the Día de los Muertos event at the Heritage House in Santa Ana, CA, sometime in October of 2022. It was still hot as heck back then, but they had some great paper maché statue figures of Friday, and some people came dressed as Friday as well, or were painting their faces. As I recall, I had to park a long, long, long way down the street because they had so many people at the event. I took some street-photography type photos, but really, the best thing is the trail they have off to the side, which attracts very few people. It is next to some kind of intermediate school. Godinez, as I recall.

Casa Romántica with Pentax 645 and Foma 200 film

 These photos are from sometime in the summer of 2022 with a heavy anchor of a camera that I hardly ever use, the Pentax 645. It is a good camera, don't get me wrong, but the ergodynamics just don't agree with me. I finally got around to developing this roll, it must have sat in my drawer for over 8 months. I don't think I have been back to this garden for at least that long. 

Rancho Cucamonga Creek with Autocord and Foma 200

Black and white photos with the famed Autocord. I had to use this film because I wanted to develop at home as soon as I returned. I was using a red 25A filter as well to increase contrast and darken the skies. I would have liked to have more dramatic cloud formations.

I also used color film with this camera. When I have enough C-41 rolls, I will send them in to the Darkroom to get them exposed. I can't wait to see what they look like.
