Mom and I went to Wildwood Metropark for a photo walk this afternoon, and spent a goodly amount of time in the flower garden.

Garage Sale Find: Expired Film
For 10¢ each, I got three rolls of expired slide film and two rolls of (assumedly expired) print film. Looking forward to experimenting with these in my Lomo LC-A, Blackbird Fly, and maybe my Holga or my Olympus XA.
Other finds from today’s trip to the Waterville Community Garage Sale included a Pat Paulsen LP, an LP of steel drums from St. Lucia in 1977, a copy of Sid Meier’s Gettysburg!, and a tank top. Not the most awesome yield from an afternoon of garage sales, but the best we’ve had in a while.
Old West End Festival, 2006
[Taken 3 June 2006 | Holga 120N]
Last weekend was the Old West End Festival in Toledo, where we always enjoy the yard sales more than the art show or the fair food. Alas, this year we got rained out of our afternoon of yard sales and lo-fi photography, so I’m posting a photo from four years ago, instead.

This was one of my favorite shots from the recent Holgamod test roll. Aaron bought me my modified Holga for Christmas, and I never got around to testing it until last weekend. I expect that I’ll post in depth about it once I get another roll or two through it, just to get a feel for its little quirks and sweet spots.
I got my film developed locally, at Taylor Photo, as I’ve had one two too many rolls of film lost in the mail from mail-order shops online. The owner is a friendly and personable guy who knows photography (and also develops black and white!).
Once I get some anti-Newton ring glass for my scanner, I’ll save money by paying for processing only — no prints. Even with paying for prints, though, it’s likely that I’ll be burning through my stash of freezer-stored film a lot quicker than I’d expected.
