I woke up one lazy Saturday morning to find a dense fog looming outside. I grabbed a roll of Kodak Tri-X 400 and went out to snap some moody photos with my Agfa Isolette III. I also had my Yashica Electro rangfinder with the last third of a roll of…

An overnight trip to Kansas City, MO didn’t cause me to worry about what clothes to pack, but rather what camera and film to take. I ultimatley selected my Agfa Isolette III. I wanted medium format, and I wanted to use color film on this trip. So I also brought…
