Roll 31: Urban Monochrome

It took me a while to post this one.   I have gotten behind again so I’m adding all of the images to a gallery to streamline it a bit.

These were all taken with my trusty EXA on Kodak TMAX 100, 35mm, and I was part of a photowalk group in downtown Reno, NV.  It’s funny how much I have been there to take photos this year when I haven’t been anywhere near that part of town in recent years.   Normally, “downtown” is reserved for tourists or transients.  Nope, not so much anymore.   There’s a whole rebirth of Reno happening!

The photo group was fun and helped me to see a few things with a new eye.   I took the bulk of my shots with a DSLR but did lug the film camera with me for the fun of it.   Well, sorta.   It was a 103 degrees outside that day.   I wouldn’t say that lugging anything extra was necessarily a great idea.

I think the images came out pretty good, though, despite the temperature.

The b/w film caught the shadow on this bike rack just as I saw it. I waited for this image on the roll.

See the climbing wall on the outside of the building?

I wonder if any really did throw their wedding ring off the bridge? Legend says so …

I like the reflections in the glass. Some of them are hard to distinguish–and that’s OK.

I can’t get enough of this scuplture. Weird.

one last shot before this display went down … I’ll miss it.
