a roll of black and white film

The other day, I found my dad's old Nikon SLR. It only has manual controls, but luckily the light meter still works pretty well. I stuck with the 50mm f/1.8 already on it, grabbed a roll of B&W film from CVS, and set out taking pictures. I was really impressed by the feel of the solid metal body and lens. Everything just felt better. And the ability to compose pictures in a 35mm viewfinder is great. It makes my T2i feel like looking down a tunnel. I love film.

These pictures are flatbed scans of the 4x6 prints I got, so no crazy quality here. The only editing was to bring the white and blacks a bit further apart. Please enjoy this little experiment.
