I felt is was time to see if I actually knew how to do "normal" photography.

I managed to get Bjarne, Eric, and Pedro to join me for an afternoon of film-only photography. It was pure back-to-basics -- old, manual-focus 35mm cameras with fast prime lenses and no gimmicks (imagine that!)

The most surprising thing: It was a ton of fun!

This man was doing his best to raise money for some of Sacramento's most worthy charities including one that I happen to be involved with, Loaves and Fishes, which among other things, provides a hot meal to about 600 people every day.

This photo was taken on a film-only photo walk of Sacramento. I managed to get Bjarne, Eric, and Pedro to join me for some old-school fun.

That's me and Bjarne looking in.
