I was really struggling anyway to take a shot of Alcatraz from that far away with effectively a 35mm focal length. The island looked tiny in a big frame with nothing interesting around it. But as I was taking the steps down towards the bay, I caught this frame and I'm glad I decided to take the shot on a whim. While taking this shot is when I realized that I probably goofed the last one, but I didn't want to climb back up the hill to see if the red bus was still there.

A color photograph of a many gnarly tree trunks and branches mostly in silhouette with some areas of the tree bark being lit by the sunlight in patches. There is one larger opening in the middle of all the chaos that opens up to the background where Alcatraz island can be seen in the Bay waters and the hillside and a few clouds behind it on the other side.

I wish I could claim I intended to do a double exposure. In fact I suspected I had accidentally double exposed a few minutes later when taking the next shot once I had left the area. I'm glad this has turned into a happy accident with the Coit Tower in the background and Alcatraz above the grill.

A double exposure color photo of a red Volkswagon Bus that is prominently taking up most of the frame under some blue skies with fluffy clouds with the Coit Tower in the background. Overlayed on it is another exposure of Alcatraz island in the distance, which is sitting right between the windshield and grill of the bus. The Alcatraz exposure has a some trees on the right that are faded in the sky and some purple flowers in the foreground which now looks painted onto the bus.

Had a couple frames left on a roll of very expired Tri-X in the Rolleiflex, so I snapped this photo of Alice. There wasn't enough light for focusing and shooting the TLR handheld, but I got lucky and I quite like the way it looks.

Roll 063 (2025), Rolleiflex 2.8D

This roll of expired Tri-X was languishing in the camera, so I forced myself to finish it with the usual self-portraits and dog photos.

realizing how much I gravitate toward Catholic iconography--snakes, passion of the Christ style reverie, people arduously carrying or dragging heavy objects...all probably ingrained from staring at stained glass windows twice a week
