For some reason a lot of the locals up around Norham / Warkworth pronounce words like "Wash" as "Warsh", interesting minor variant in the local accent. Shot one of my last remaining rolls of Agfa APX 100 at my sister's this weekend. RIP Agfa. I'm starting to get comfortable with Fuji Acros 100 though, its a nice replacement and stands in hotrod quite nicely for easy scans.
So I buckled on Friday and joined Twitter. If you're already on there, head on over and follow me.
p.s. RIP Kodachrome, too. Although I don't shoot much chrome, Kodachrome (along with Panatomic X) will always have a special spot in my heart. It was my dad's film, and the first film I ever used -- in my Minolta Hi-Matic 7s, when I was about 10.

- We have lots of strange pronounciation here.
Thank goodness for Fuji.
Fitting quality image for Agfa memorial.

kden @ 2009-06-22 09:53:17 - I really love this .. its a story!
Daryl @ 2009-06-22 13:30:35 - Very nice photo, especially in monochrome, it gives it a timeless quality. It reminds me of my mother who used to hang all the clothes out to dry. I always loved that fresh outdoors smell on my clothes.
cluelessinboston @ 2009-06-22 20:20:58 - Interesting on the word pronunciation. I was born and raised in Ohio and that's how it was always pronounced. In Arkansas where I live now, it's pronounced properly. Love the clothes on the line like that. Don't see it much anymore. I used to do that myself.
sherri @ 2009-06-23 09:50:00 - Still got the Hi-Matic 7s?
Jordan @ 2009-06-23 20:02:12 - Thanks all!
And yeah, Jordan I do still have the 7s and it still works like new (last I checked, about 6 months ago). Its built like a tank!
