Black and white Ilford HP5 from the beloved half frame Chaika II which has clearly developed some kind of scrapey thing at the end of the roll, leaving a thin line across the top of the frame in a lot of these. That’s okay! It adds to the glamor! My glamourous life! 😀 These are not the best photos ever, sigh, but there are a couple that I think are pretty nifty. Yes they’re grainy or the scans are noisy, idk, it is what it is. I love my Chaika! Whooo film! Whooo 1970s soviet cameras! #crappycommiecameraparty
More seriously, this expensive hobby, or art, or whatever it is, really does make me happy. I wish I had access to a darkroom so I could print them myself, but in the meantime, there’s lightroom and I have given up feeling guilty about using it. I love the half frame diptych, the randomness of it and the juxtapositions that make more than the whole of 2 photos. I hope you like them too!
