My first roll, what a thrill it was seeing these photos for the first time. This was shot on a 3+ year old roll of fuji X-tra 400 which had never been refrigerated. I had no idea if the camera even worked properly while I snapped my daily photograph. It was a massive relief when I get all my photos back from the guys at Hillvale Photo.

Sarah drops Bruce off before heading over seas. Bruce is a girl rabbit who eats better food than me.

That’s it for the first roll. Up next is a roll of Black and White ilford 400. I’ve never shot black and white and I’m really excited to be focusing on contrast as I take my photo each day with this next roll.
