"Ghosts" - San Francisco, November 2017
It'd been my 5th or 6th time in SF but I was yet to see that famous fog. I only had a few days there and this isn't the best time for the Bay fog (summer is peak season) but I was determined to be there in case some floating water decided to show up. But for 3 mornings in a row, it didn't.

And reading Rachel's post about our road trip, I realized I never posted our plans on here. She listed the places where we are going to be spending our next 9 weeks, and I'll leave here some of the spots I am hoping to photograph:

When I knew I had a few days to go anywhere I wanted in the PNW, this place was the first to come to my mind.

I've been using Kodak D76 for a while, but now that we are going to be on the road for a few months, transporting and "cooking" D76 might be a problem. I was in the search of a new developer and I might have found it.
