going to school

This is one of my favorite from 2007. I take this to be either a whole family taking the girls to school, or two families each with a single daughter that were walking side by each.

The washed-out yellow color comes from a Y2 filter that I was using in conjuncture with what is currently being sold as "Centuria" film here in Japan. It's not the old Konica Centuria, though, which was a lovely film; it's relabeled Kodak Gold -- a lackluster film with poor color rendition that I find suitable only for shooting with a wacky filter and my fire-and-forget Olympus rangefinder.

There's something kind of horrific about milk. Think about it! Think about what we're doing. Milk is kind of gross.
