Nashville on Neopan
Sometime last year, Scott and I picked up an expired roll of Neopan 1600 from a photography shop in Pensacola, FL. It’s been rattling around in the bottom of my film drawer for a minute now. I tended to skip over it, since I don’t do a lot of night-time or low-light photography.
When we went to Nashville, TN for a few days in September 2025, the Neopan seemed like a perfect match for Broad Street’s neon lights. One evening while Scott attended a work-related event, I popped the film in my camera and set off alone down Broad Street.
Dragoncon Parade 2025 on 35mm Film
Every Labor Day weekend, Atlanta is overrun. The invasion includes superheroes, fairies, stormtroopers, a periodic table, marching bands, an entire SWAT team of ghostbusters— not to mention the more obscure characters, such as Gand-Alf (a mashup of Gandalf and the puppet Alf).
For those of you who don’t know, DragonCon in Atlanta is a whole thing.
I’m not quite nerdy enough to attend such a Convention, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the parade.

The Autumnal Equinox marks the time when the sun is directly above the equator. On this day we officially transition seasons from summer to fall in the northern hemisphere (and from spring to summer in the southern hemisphere). This year the fall equinox is September 22, 2025.

Listening Lately
It’s a feeling I can’t shake
And it’s not fair for you to shoulder all this weight
Oh, for you I’d do the same
But for now
Can you hold me up?
‘Cause I ain’t strong enough right now
For the both of us
And I don’t wanna let you down
Oh, believe me, love
I’m gonna get up off the ground
All I need is your love and time, and we’ll find a way somehow
Can you hold me up?
‘Til we reach the other side
The road is rough
But I think the end’s in sight
Oh, believe me, love
We’re gonna make it through the night
As long as I got you with me, and your loving hand in mine
