Portra 400 / Portra 160 ~ Mamiya RB67
June 2019
Upon returning from one of our road trips in 2019, I could barely contain my excitement in getting my film developed. Travis and I had a wonderful time, and were thrilled with the opportunity to visit a few fun places. Little had I known, my 50mm lens had been having a malfunction in which the aperture ring was working inconsistently. Though it sounded like the camera was functioning normally, the aperture ring would snap right shut, letting in no light whatsoever. Of the two rolls of film taken (luckily at the tail end of our trip), and what should have been 20 exposures, these are the surviving few that were actually taken. The rest of the film was left entirely unexposed. Needless to say, I was awfully bitter about this, resulting the negatives sitting untouched for a good portion of the year. I have since deemed this set as being from “The Sad Rolls”.
