The good news is, they aren’t actually white, they look really yellow-ish, so they’re not all that hard to spot, and they purportedly don’t like to climb on the island, so safety is only a quick scramble away. No polar bears to see on this walk, maybe better luck next time.

From the north the sea ice keeps coming from the Chukchi sea.

In the south the sun sets over the Bering sea.

It turns out that if you let color film sit around for 5 or 6 years, it makes for real neat vintage colors. Old film makes old-esque pictures, cool eh?

Coincidentally, pops gave me a handful of old film the other day, leftover from when he shot a friend’s wedding.

Nikon F3, Nikkor 50mm f1.4, and Fujicolor Super HQ 100.

I burned up the first roll just goofing around in the front and back yard; the second was the progress-keeper of project lets-paint-alicia-and-jon’s-house-while-jon’s-out-of-town (Alicia and Jon being my older siblings, one an “in-law”). I like shooting color, but it seems easier to say things with black and white shots. Different strokes for different days and lighting and things, I guess.

Beyond the nice ones here, most all of the shots on these two rolls were horizontal and I have no clue why.
