At the very end of my 2018 sabbatical, I wandered my old neighborhood, the Mission District<\/strong>, with my Contax G2 and some Lomography Redscale film from my refrigerator.<\/p>\n

Lomography Redscale is one of the company’s “experimental” film products, in which they spool the film backwards, so you are shooting through the red-orange emulsion.\u00a0 The results are relatively monochrome, through greens still make their stand in an eerie way.\u00a0 Since I was shooting in a neighborhood with lots of historical buildings, deep brick reds, and great texture, I choose it hoping it would fit well.\u00a0 (I remain a big fan of black and white film, and am unlikely to give it up for this, but it is fun to experiment.)<\/p>\n

This gallery shows my affection for the textures of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
