As promised, this is the second half of portraits I shot in SF on a roll of Fuji Reala – my very first roll of Reala, in fact. The photo of Jess & Colby is just a few steps away from “the Bike,” and the last four were shot while dawdling in front of Tartine, minutes away from saying goodbye.
Despite all those good memories, this first frame is my very favorite, which we hastily snapped on one of those million-mile walks in the Mission.
Sorry about the dust and scratches in these last two posts. Sometimes, even a dedicated blogger like myself CBF. :)

on May 14, 2011 10:26 pm[https://www.flickr.com/photos/deerscare] Whaaaat? You gotta shoot with that thing! The Rollei is awesome and I love the waist-level perspective, but the fact that it's basically a big metal box poses problems when I'm going to be out and about. Definitely not the most practical MF camera, but awesome nonetheless.
