Community
So you take all the variety of singles and couples out there in all their glorious permutations and put them in one place and you get a community, where people work together on the things that matter and, in the words of one politician, mind their own damned business about the things that don’t.

Parking Lot Is Closed
Or not, since the sign is at the back. But there was nobody there, so it didn’t seem open. Kodak Retina IIIS, Lucky Color 200, ECN-2 development.

Untitled
These buildings on the edge of the Coast Guard base seemed like a likely subject for my first salt print, a process that was created in the 1830s and unveiled in 1840. Salt, silver nitrate, and sodium thiosulfate was all I needed to print this. Amazing. Kodak Retina IIIS, Eastman 5222, developed in divided D-76.

School’s Out
This building will someday be a school, in fact, a particular school, the Marine Academy of Science and Technology. My mom worked there for a few years as one of the secretaries. They’re currently across the street in a bunch of small buildings. This large building has a sign in front of it saying it is the future home of MAST. But I’ve been watching this building for years and there’s been no movement to make it a useful building since they shored it up. I don’t expect to see this as a functional school in my lifetime at this point. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16, @ilfordphoto.com PanF+, 510-Pyro development.

Greg
I can’t believe I never posted this photo of @gregpak.net from last May when he was doing a signing at a comic book store a couple of towns over from where I live. Funny thing; I shot this with a camera I bought from him. Leica R4, Fuji Superia 400, ECN-2 development.

Double Exposure
I have no idea how I did this on the Leica, but it happened. It’s like I intended it, and if I had, this would be a good choice, the two restaurants across the street from each other from the last photo I posted. Leica R4, Kodak 2484, divided D-76.

The Original
This diptych is of two businesses across the street from one another, run by brothers, both of whom claim to be the original home of the pizza bread cheesesteak. I understand that the brothers get along now, but that that wasn’t always the case. Kodak Retina IIIS, Lucky Color 200, ECN-2 development.
