The first two photos were made back in late June, shortly after Tony passed six months, and the rest in early August just shy of his eight month “birthday”. Looking back on these photos a month and a half later, it’s amazing how much little man has grown. There is a level of maturity in his face now that just wasn’t there a month before. We see this little fellow every day, so the changes are more subtle to us. These photographs remind me just how much Tony changes in such a short period of time.

I had a roll of Kodak BW400CN, a black and white film designed for C-41 processing. In other words, it’s a black and white film that can be processed in color negative (color print film) chemistry and printed on color negative paper. This allows you to take it to a place like Ritz camera or MotoPhoto and have them process it just as they would color print film. The prints came out looking good. The grain resembles that of TMAX 400, but I thought they had a slight green cast to them. I’ve used Ilford’s XP2 (another C-41 processed black and white film), and I think that XP2 renders richer blacks than the BW400CN. Like a lot of things, it boils down to personal preference.

The food tastes better when Grandpa feeds it to me! Photo taken around June 20th.

I’ll get the hang of using this phone thing sooner or later.
