I’m not sure how I ended up with two rolls of Fuji Super G. Maybe one came from a Oli’s Choice or similar mystery expired box from the FPP, or maybe a lot of expired film from the ‘bay; I think the other came from an Emulsive Santa event, maybe the 2019 version, but I’m …

First of, it’s another one to add to my mini-collection of “America*” books; second off, it’s sorta unique in that it’s meant to function like a zine or book, and (with two copies) as an exhibition, which …
I’m not sure where I got the idea to use some ancient Fuji Super G, exposed at EI 50 in the LC-A, as my first test of the Negative Digitizer function in the newish scanning camera (the Nikon D780). I’m also not sure how expired the roll of Super G was, or how it was …
