Binoculars

We see faces everywhere. This is from the first roll through my newly acquired Kodak Medalist II, testing the shutter I fixed (it works) and the rangefinder I haven’t (needs help). I actually nailed focus here, but the rangefinder doesn’t work on smaller objects, so I need to open it up and muck about. Shot on Ilford FP4+ and developed in 510-Pyro.

Double Door

This looks like a stable to me. Not sure what use horses would have been on Sandy Hook, but whatever. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16, @ilfordphoto.com PanF+, 510-Pyro development.

Broad Street Diner

Excellent diner, best in the area. Wish they were still open for dinner, but the pandemic changed that and they never reopened for dinner. Leica R4, @ilfordphoto.com FP4+, divided D-76 development.

No Kings No Wars No ICE

Most seaside resort towns seem to be conservative to reactionary, particulary the businesses and the goods that they carry. I see a lot of Trump 2028 t-shirts on the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD, for example. Rehoboth Beach is largely the opposite. There’s a significant gay component to the community, and businesses have signs like this outside. It doesn’t surprise me that Joe Biden has a home here.

Old Time Photos

Closing out my contributions to the #FP4Party with a photo I take over and over wherever I find it, the Old Time Photos stand in damned near every resort town. I always wish they were making tintypes, or at least shooting film. I think I make more old time photos than they do. Leica R4, @ilfordphoto.com FP4+, divided D-76 development.
