a cautionary tale

Sanger-Harris was a regional department store chain in Texas and Oklahoma, known nearly as much for the large mosaic murals that adorned the façades of its stores as for any of the clothes it carried.

Redscale!

With #BIFscale17 just around the corner, and with me wanting to take part in something, to have a social aspect to my hobby, and only just now getting into social media again via Twitter, and all the fun and mild intellectual stimulation that has to offer, I figured I should test a roll of Redscale film before …
