Ann Arbor 📷 Pentax LX, 28mm f/2.8 🎞️ #Kikipan 320 ☢️ #believeinfilm

A multi-tiered and geometrically interesting brick building towers over the street and the people waiting to cross it. Monochrome, film sprocket holes visible on the edges. The contrast is super washed out due to radiation damage.

Later that morning, at the peak 📷 Pentax 17 🎞️ Portra 400 #believeinfilm

A Rivian R1T faces the camera, Midway Utah in the background, far below. A camping chair is set up in the shade of a roof-mounted awning. The sun, now higher in the sky, beats down upon the photographer, who has just remembered he needs to put on sunscreen.

Juniper loves a chin-rest on Caturday. She loves a chin-rest on every other day too. 📷 Olympus C-740 UltraZoom #shittycamerachallenge

A muted calico peeks out of a large cardboard box, looking annoyed and resting her chin on the edge of the box hole with her favorite string.

I saw this guy taking photos in Ann Arbor and we had a little Spider-Man-pointing moment. 📷 Pentax LX, 28mm f/2.8 🎞️ #Kikipan 320 ☢️ #believeinfilm

A man faces the camera, his own camera pointed in my direction. The photo is black and white and incredibly grainy, showing the radiation damage it sustained in shipping. Sprocket holes are partly visible on the edges.

Kipi on #Kikipan. The film seems to have been destroyed by a CT scan or something similar, leaving an uneven haze across all of it, but I don’t hate it. #believeinfilm 📷 Pentax LX, not sure which lens.

A tabby cat with white appears to snarl, mid-yawn. The film is black and white and totally destroyed, likely by radiation, leaving a weird haze in all the dark spots.
