The premise for this blog is fairly basic. Spend 48 hours in a city - and shoot as much 35mm film as I can. While my primary camera is a Canon 6D, I'm shooting film with a Canon EOS Elan 7 SLR. Maybe I'll find some purpose in documenting all of this down the line, but for now it's just a way to force myself into expanding in new directions within the realms of photography.
This will inevitably be a short first post, as I didn't come up with this premise until after I left Philadelphia. Of course now I regret not spending more time shooting on film but that's how it goes sometimes.
These couple of shots were taken in the now dilapidated Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. Famous for being the most expensive prison in the United States at one time as well as once housing Al Capone. A worthwhile tour to take while in the city.
At some point I should mention that the outdoors shots were mostly taken with Kodak Ektar 100 film and the indoor shots mostly with Portra 400.
Ideally, moving forward this will quickly prove to be my least interesting and least informative post. It has to start somewhere though, and this is as good a place as any. By the time I make it back to Philadelphia I'm hopeful to have improved a bit for round two.
