Back to finishing scans of roll 10. Springtime 1991. Kolomonskoe, Moscow. I never went back to Russia after that visit, and expect I never will.

My goodness some of these photos are like memory bolts for me. This interior of a Soviet Cafe is so prototypical as to be a madeleine of sorts for me. The stark lack of goods and information, the blocky analog cash register, some weird folksy decoration, wood details, the smock. It's also a ghostly self-portrait which delights the witness and time-traveller.

A group of WWII vets in Leningrad in 1991. Their poses and faces are speak volumes.

With a little down time, I turn my attention to the remaining USSR rolls (two to go).
And lo, my blurred image was etched onto this piece of plastic thirty-whatever years ago for us all to marvel at now.

Another serene view of Pt Reyes. Heart's Desire Beach looking North along the shore of Tomales Bay.

My three little cameras (four if you include the completely inoperable one) each have their own quirky flaw.
The Minox occasionally decides not to actually trip the shutter, and its infinity focus point seems maladjusted.
The Olympus XA's shutter release is maddeningly flakey.
And the Rollei 35, in addition to having no slow shutter speeds, can't rewind film. I have to unload it in a changing bag π

My kid got this picture of me onto the roll - peak beard.

Here's another pic, this time from a run around Santa Rosa, a city I love to explore and examine.

I love the process of taking 70+ pics on two rolls of film, developing them, and seeing what recent (or not so recent) past emerges.
Willow Creek State Park provides much dramatic landscape stuff.
