Rockaway Beach, Pacifica, California (2016)

Bronica S2, Fuji Acros film

I've always liked the tonality of the rocks in this image. Acros does such a wonderful job in that regard. You can also clearly see each row of waves as they approach the shore in all of their frothy inevitability. I can almost hear them.

Our daughter, India, disappeared twelve days ago in San Diego, California. It is believed she might still be in the City Heights area of the city. If you've seen her in the past week, please contact the Missing Persons Unit of San Diego County Sheriff Department: +1 619 531 2277

Winter #Solstice today for those of us on the north end. I don’t have any “solsticey” photos but thinking celestial I have this one of the #MilkyWay that I took while in N. #California last August. Our solar system orbits around the galactic center once every ~225 million years so if there was an equivalent galactic “winter solstice” point there have only been about 20 of them since our sun was but a wee protostar and all of us were just a glint in its eye.

Another scan from the film I just developed in my bathroom: the view from Tunnel View in Yosemite Valley

(Glacier Point is nicer, but also a longer drive)

(Shot on Yashica 124G, Portra 400, self-developed in Bellini C41 kit, scanned on Fuji Frontier)
