Olympus Stylus Epic | Fuji Reala
I've been practicing developing my own color film lately. Which meant I had to shoot lots of color film to have something to practice on, much more than usual. Seems somewhat counterproductive considering I ALSO recently started darkroom printing again and thus also need to be shooting plenty of black-and-white to practice printing, but such is life. It's funny finally seeing some of these pictures, as I'd been saving rolls for so long so I could develop a bunch in one go and not worry about chemical expiration.

This in particular was shot before I'd hit upon the idea of the Shoot the Freak documentary project. Perhaps in mid-June. Was still shooting color in Coney Island, and not focusing on any particular aspect. Feels like ages ago.
