im in socal right now and very grateful to be missing whatever this chaos is (though wish my gf was with me in boston, not me in socal) i triple berthed at north station once it was something

bonus shots of me in the seat of the hawker. i’ve never been a blue line regular, but as a kid, we’d drive to sullivan and take the orange line variant of these cars into town. the orange line hawkers, awful as they were, are special to me, and this is as close as i’ll ever get to the seat of one.

their scanner also seems to be toast, I got my own scanner after noticing a roll of cinestill 800t that didn't look like 800t should (ty to my darling @awawa.pics for pointing it out). was my first roll I scanned so cropping isn't 100% but the difference is clear. others also have had muddy scans.

A neon sign reading "good sandwiches" as seen through a window from the outside from behind at Kelly's Diner in Somerville, MA. Scanned by Lumentation, there is a muddy brownish haze to the photo uncharacteristic of Cinestill 800T which this was shot on. Taken on a Canon 500N, don't remember the date but late April 2026.

The same photo as the first one, of a neon sign reading "good sandwiches" as seen through a window from the outside from behind at Kelly's Diner in Somerville, MA. Scanned by me, at home, this looks how Cinestill 800T should. Taken on a Canon 500N, don't remember the date but late April 2026.

reason for 3 digital/1 film is, partly, damaged negatives. Boston area film shooters, Lumentation in Somerville has great people but I've had issues with recent developed rolls. this (shot on kodak gold) and another recent roll (cinestill 50d) are all scratched up

a CRRC HR4000 LA Metro D line train toward Wilshire/La Cienega is entering Wilshire/Fairfax station in Los Angeles, California. purple scratches on the screen reflect the negative that was damaged in development. (the white line on the top of the screen is from a shoddy scan by me that I did not fix in post.) | 2026-05-13, film, canon 500n, kodak gold 200, forget the lens but might've been canon 85mm f/1.8

people walk down Newbury Street in Boston on a nice spring day. trees to the left, with a line of brick buildings to the right and a skyscraper in the background. white scratches on the screen reflect the negative that was damaged in development. | 2026-05-04, film, canon 500n, cinestill 50d, forget the lens

an MBTA green line train approaches copley eastbound in the background, with green structural support poles and a sign indicating how to access westbound service for free as copley has no crossover. white scratches on the screen reflect the negative that was damaged in development. | 2026-05-01, film, canon 500n, cinestill 50d, forget the lens
