35mm film

Fog

As anyone who has lived in or been around the San Francisco Bay Area can tell you, summer is full of lovely fog so thick, it's impossible to see more than five feet in front of you most mornings. However, it can make for some very fascinating photography.

The following were shot on Kodak MAX 400ISO film while I was scouting for possible locations to do some portrait photography in a few weeks. The Flickr photos are geotagged, but to give an idea of whereabouts I was wandering around, please refer to this map:

Going way back with some trusty Kodak 400TX

A year ago, or thereabouts, I was in a panic. I needed film for my intro to film production class, and I hadn't had time to go into the City to procure some. I ended up at a well known film supply shop, but they were all out of most stocks of 16mm. I had my heart set on black and white film, but all they had was Kodak Tri-X 400ISO film. I was going to be shooting outdoors on a bright, sunny day on a Bolex, so I was pretty heartbroken. I bought the stock anyway, because I needed something to shoot on the next day.
