I've been throwing film persistently at my go-to mail-in lab for about a few months now. If I had to guess... Maybe 25-30 rolls so far? Phew. That's fun. Thank god I don't pay for lab scans, though. My Canoscan 8800f does a more than satisfactory job, albeit at the cost of it being time-consuming.
It's peak Falltime, and in all fair honesty, I have a convoluted relationship with the turn of Summer into Winter.
To get the positives out of the way... I love the seasonal change-up of foods around now. Apples, cinnamon, pastries, pies, soups-- that sort-of justified comfort food as I get closer to Thanksgiving (a holiday I love, though keeping in mind the colonist implications of it). Except for pumpkins and squash, though. Fuck those.
The changing of the leaves is a site to behold where I live. Not too many parts of world get to experience Fall leaves, so I always make sure every year to do a really nice Fall hike before the dreaded era of "Barren Fall" comes in November
With that in mind, I still sit and wait for Spring yet again. Winter is a time of hardship, being reminded of said hardships, new beginnings, new endings, aging... Oh, and the freezing cold weather. Did I ever mention here that I recently got diagnosed with a fun medical condition called Reynaud's Syndrome? Gotta stock up on those Kirkland Signature cotton socks and foot warmers!
But yeah, at least grad school has been genuinely fun, and I'm making good money. I'm also eating lots of good home-cooked food nowadays. Yay!!
More photos are on the way. Hope you all enjoyed the recent show photo drop!
