Well, mostly from Mono lake. There is one shot from our kitchen included here.

Actually, I'm concerned that you'll grow weary of seeing my lake shots (they're pretty redundant) so I may hold off on posting the next two rolls. Or maybe, I'll do a better job of curating them and just not post the overly redundant shots?

As indicated in the sub header, these were taken with an old roll of Kodacolor VRG-200 that expired in April of 88. I shot these at ISO 50 and for the most part, it worked out pretty well.

Fun fact, in some of the "beach" shots, what looks like gravel is actually a thick layer of millions of brine (or alkali) flies. Mono lake is full of tiny brine shrimp and is partially covered in alkali flies (they're not pests and stay on the water). When you see shots of the lake that have a dark strip near the shoreline, that's all flies.

You probably already know that these shots were taken with my Leica Ic and 12mm Voigtlander lens and developed by The Darkroom in San Clemente.
