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.

Your use of black & white had such a retro feel for me as I scrolled through the photo gallery. At times it almost seemed some of these shots could have been taken fifty years ago rather than today. Very cool!

That’s one of my favorites. You know when you take a shot and it’s gonna be good? I shot that one on purpose. I started to call it “I Shot a Man in Reno.” He looks like he might be a Johnny Cash fan.

They’re pretty contrasty B&W and I like that. Anything special you did to convert them from color scans? Or did you scan them as B&W to begin with?

I had the b/w film processed by The Darkroom (thedarkroom.com) and they processed them. No other adjustments. I just noticed I posted that it was shot on Ektar. Ooops. Autopilot error. Not true. I just updated the post.
