Tame adventure in a Wild animal park

November 24, 2009

I randomly went to the Orange County Zoo with a couple friends recently and got to see some coyotes and roadrunners. I never heard of this zoo and was just wanting to get out of the house. The zoo is quite small and very cheap. I am pretty sure all of the animals are rescued which is great, but most of them are local creatures. If you live nearby, I suggest you go and have a nice picnic in the surrounding area and visit the zoo to see some of the wild animals.

I don’t particularly like taking pictures at the zoo but here are a couple.

This is a mountain lion, I would not want to meet one in the wild.
I like this tree.

Blown-out Beach

May 23, 2008

Continuing along with my journey of black and white films… this is Ilford HP5 400, I developed it with Xtol (an unfamiliar developer) and am pretty sure I blew out the highlights by over processing, which gave the photos an interesting look but a little too much for me. The previous post and the next few are all from the same batch of film.
this is a day at crescent beach with some friends…

these photos would look way better printed traditionally, the scanner is making it very difficult for me to work with the images. If only I had a darkroom…
