Covid Photography with Kodak Pro Image 100

I’ve never been quite sure what Kodak’s Pro Image 100 film really is. Some say it’s just repackaged Gold 100 for sale outside the US. Other people say it’s some special emulsion designed to survive hot and humid conditions. I really don’t know, but I do know that I like it. And whenever and wherever I have it loaded into one of my cameras, it has made me happy and satisfied.

I’m still using up a stock of this film I bought from a supplier in Mexico a few years ago. Here are some random snaps made near where I live with my dependable Nikon FM2n and a 55mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor…just a dream of a lens!

Thanks to Ryan, Bridgette and Hudson at Boutique Film Lab for my processing and scans. You guys rock!

This yellow Corvette is parked a few doors down from me.

The Napa hills…

This old Lincoln sedan with suicide doors is two streets over from me. I think the intent is restoration, but I am not sure.

I try and walk a few miles each night. Halfway along my route is a steep hill ending in a cul-de-sac near the top. It’s my cardio.

I am still trying to find my balance in the midst of this evolving national health debacle. Photography has always and forever centered me, even in the worst of my days. I am leaning hard on it now. Wandering around. Not far from my home. Camera in hand. Trying to find some peace of mind.
