International Kodak Film Photography Day 2014 and Philly Street

It's 2014 International Kodak Film Photography Day and as an avid Kodak shooter, I am going to celebrate with some initial favorites taken on a recent trip to Philadelphia with fellow DC street photographers Matt Dunn, Chris Chen, Bill Bramble and Mahan Talebian.

I packed two cameras for the trip; my BessaR rangefinder with the Voigtlander 35mm f/2.5 Color Skopar lens and Olympus EP1 digital camera. The BessaR served as my primary camera and the EP1 took care of random additional stuff. I shot 8 rolls of Tri-X over the two days checking out the city and upon initial review, it looks like I can group the few keepers into three general categories; Street, Portraits, and Places/Things.




Here are some highlights from the Street Category. The Places and Things were included in an earlier post and the portraits will probably be held onto for a while/forever. Anyway, all of the frames featured in this post are on Kodak Tri-X film, taken with my BessaR, developed in HC110 and scanned with my PrimeFilmXA. I'm starting to come around to the PrimeFilm scanner…slowly.

Anyway, take a look and then GO OUT AND SHOOT SOME FILM!
