2018-12-01 · San Francisco, CA

Second roll. Light leaks on more than a few frames. Turns out you don't load a film camera at the kitchen counter when the sun is doing its morning thing through the window. I kept the ruined ones anyway. The pink streak made the Palace of Fine Arts look like a postcard with wine spilled on it.

Mostly walking around.

Then home. The ten minutes of yellow light San Francisco hands out in winter before the fog wins it back.
