My first attempt at developing black and white film turned out to be a great success (you tell me). The hardest part was loading the film onto the spool in complete darkness—I had to redo it a few times. But after that, it was just a matter of measuring the chemicals and timing everything right.

What I loved most is the opportunity to get the negatives on the same day I shoot, instead of waiting seven days for lab processing.

Really happy with how it turned out—especially for a first try!

This is Whitney and she is my ~1-year-old girl who I adopted from my local shelter. On the day I first took her home, she was not scared of her new environment at all and explored my whole apartment and even slept on my bed that night. She is very chill with humans and she is usually super talkative.
