I'll start.
Made with the twitchy Sears KS Auto and Arista 100 swished in caffenol

Road trip to Tucumcari and San Jon on Route 66.
Weed is legal in New Mexico, so some of the dispensaries have interesting murals....

Nice start Becky!  Pot shop advertising in Washington is getting creative as well.

Last roll from American Samoa.  Minolta srT201 with Agfa Vista 100, expired 12/2007 (film was a gift from Becky).

This is my favorite beach bar ever, and I've been to a lot of beach bars.  The first time I went to this bar in 1994, it was a tiny grass hut on the beach with a cooler of beer.  It has grown a lot and they serve great food.  They grow most of the fruit and vegetable themselves and serve locally caught seafood.  They also have the best Pina Coladas, they make the coconut cream by hand.

Tragic story about this tram that used to cross Pago Pago harbor.  I stayed in the re-built section of the hotel that was destroyed, this trip and in 1994.

I consumed a lot of bananas while I was there.

Love the beach shots and would love to go to that bar!
Fresh everything sounds perfect.
BTW--that Vista film originally came from Irv...so it's been almost all the way around the world.

Everything was fresh but the film.  Thanks Irv!

A couple more from the roll of Lomo Berlin strangely enough without the colour cast.

We had some spectacular Spring weather at the end of April. Fuji Acros II in the M6, 35mm Summicron. I think I used a filter but can't remember which one if I did; maybe red, although the sky doesn't seem dark enough.

Nice shots! I too would be down for some R&R at Tisa's. Earl that's a nice shot with an unusually dramatic So. Cal. sky. I missed most of my chances to get some cloud porn this spring, so I guess I'll have to wait until November. Here is another shot from the Bronica/Ultrafine/510Pyro. I hope to have a C-41 session next weekend, so fingers crossed, I'll have something colorful to contribute.

I was out and about this morning with a Polaroid Spectra 2. Trying to spend the last packs of film that's four years overdue, they are not made anymore. I used a darker setting this time, and that seems to help.

It's weird, but I feel I've already seen this building in an old photo book?

I've posted other, previous images. It was originally a WPA project and served as the Fullerton city hall from the early 1940s to the early 60s. Since then, it's been used as the police department HQ. There are three Depression-era murals in town: one at the old Post Office(also a WPA project), one in this building, and a very large outdoor fresco at the high school. The city was very late to the "redevelopment" craze that hit Southern California in the 1980s, which serendipitously saved many of the historic structures in town.
