During the trip, I used only three films, of which two were developed in Tai Chung and the final one in Hong Kong SHOWA. Again, what I like about film photography is the anticipation.

I had previously shot 4 rolls of expired Rossmann 100 and the photos were beautiful. However, this particular last roll of the batch came … [Read more…]
