A grainy colour photograph on expired film, showing the façade of what might be a late 1800s or early 1900s office building. The stone building has slightly terrifying stone faces placed between each set of tall, arched windows running along the street-facing façade. The cloudy sky above creates a dull reflection in the windows, somehow matching the mood of the weathered grey stone walls.

For this #FensterFreitag, I somehow found another salvageable half frame on this expired roll. It's grey and cloudy, but so is today.

In January, I escaped down to Savannah, GA, for a few days during the snowstorm. Here’s a few shots. #halfframeclub #streetphotography

Analog photograph of two buildings: the corner of an 1850s fire station building in the foreground, and a church tower from the same era in the background. Both are brown brick buildings with arched windows and embellished façades.

A guard stands by as a chandelier swings over a table loaded with dishes on a street in the dark as people look on.

Dinner is Served

Not sure what krewe this was. Mardi Gras parades are something else. Pentax 17, Kodak Portra 800, ECN-2 development.

A float emerges from the dark with two lamps on top of a sign that says “Is This All There Is?” Neon-like letters on the side say “AC” (I think the rest of the message is “AB”, but that’s not shown here).

Is This All There Is?

Yes. Sorry. Pentax 17, Kodak Portra 800, ECN-2 development.

A monster with orange skin, sharp teeth, and bulging eyes marches along a one way street at night with feathers on its cap.

#BelieveInFilm #HalfFrameClub

Black-and-white photograph of a tall and very modern and abstract-looking building. The walls are angular in seemingly random geometric structures, made in part of massive glass windows and some kind of sheet-like cladding. The glass reflects light and views, while the dark sheets absorb them. The sky above is a nondescript, cloudy white.

Something more modern and perhaps ominous for #FensterFreitag the 13th.

A float showing an angel with a flapper haircut is lit up while the people marching are bathed in blue light.

Aaaahhhhh

Not sure which sub-krewe this is, but they seem pretty relaxed. Pentax 17, Kodak Portra 800, ECN-2 development.

A wooden frame holding up a display has lights in the form of eyeballs hanging from it. Attendants guide the float along the march path.

A spotlight lights up a float in the shape of a yellow crescent moon with a bearded person holding a head in each hand under the words “The Garden of Dada”. Crowds of people are slightly visible to the side.

The Garden of Dada

The Krewe Boheme parade has some crews that are, shall we say, of a somewhat intellectual bent. Like this one. Pentax 17, Portra 800, ECN-2 development.

The rear of some motorized chaise lounges have neon-like signs saying “Chaissez Ladies”.

A woman in a cowboy hat, gold jacket, and sequined pants lays back in a upholstered chaise lounge with a drink in a holder on her left and a big smile on her face.

Chaissez Lady

The Chassiez Ladies march in the Krewe Boheme parade in motorized chaise lounges. This sort of thing appeals to my sense of the absurd. Pentax 17, Kodak Portra 800, ECN-2 development.

A group of paraders carry a number of signs: “Throw *Us* Something”, “Give Us Your Bra”, “Free The Girls; Give Us Your Bra! We’ll Donate It!"

Free The Girls!

One of the more popular krewes in the Krewe Boheme parade is this group, which asks bystanders to throw them bras instead of the other way around, which they then donate to the needy. Fucking brilliant twist. I expect this came out […]

A storefront has a sign hanging above the sidewalk that says “Peace Love & Little Donuts” in a circle, with the words “Coffee” and “Donuts” above and below the circle.

A brown stucco building has art deco lettering on it saying “Magic Beach Motel”, with a flamingo underneath and a clock. Palm trees stand in front of it.

People carry a banner through the dark streets that says “Midnight in the Garden of Absinthe”.

Midnight in the Garden of Absinthe

This was the theme of this year’s Krewe Boheme parade. I didn’t have any absinthe while I was there, midnight or otherwise, garden or elsewhere. Maybe next time. Pentax 17, Portra 800, ECN-2 development.

Black-and-white photo of an old, wooden farmhouse building. The walls are painted dark, with bright white trimmings for the doors, windows and roof. Two square windows figure prominently on the wall, each divided into two half panes with small, square bars. On the porch in front, someone has placed a round wooden table and four metal chairs.

Late afternoon sun lights up the sign for the Magic Beach Motel, which spans the entrance and has the words “Magic Beach Motel” in neon, along with a top hat and rabbits coming out of the hat, hopping over stars. The motel is visible behind it. All of the flamingoes in the walls have lines spray painted around them.

Magic Beach Motel

Back to this subject. I expect to be back in St. Augustine at the end of the month. I’ll check then to see if this is still standing. I don’t expect it is. Fucking condos. Pentax 17, Fujifilm F-64D, ECN-2 development.

A run down two story house is boarded up. The railing on the balcony is failing. A traffic cone sits on the front porch, and a cone that says No Parking is on the lawn. The siding is very worn.

House

This run down house is in St. Augustine. I don’t remember exactly where, but I think it’s in the Uptown section along San Marco. Pentax 17, Fujifilm F-64D, ECN-2 development.

Tetriptych of a strip mall and a building to its left. From left, Lentz’ Auto Body and Junction Barbers in a a combined building separate from the strip mall; Lighthouse Realty at the left of the strip mall; Belford Brewing; Golden Jade; and then several other businesses that can’t be identified in this photo set. Several cars are in the parking lot.

Triptych of a mostly empty harbor, a ferry visible at dock in the distance but all other slips empty, looking down the dock.

Harbor

This harbor is in Atlantic Highlands, and it’s mostly empty at this time of year. Pentax 17 with a 3D printed panorama head, Kodak 5222 (Double-XX), Divided D-76.

An Airstream trailer is parked under an awning. Its back window has a sign in stylized lettering that reads “Hotbox Local Hawaii Food Sta. FL”, with an LED sign saying “OPEN” below it.

Hotbox

Back to St. Augustine. This Airstream is parked outside Spinster Abbot’s and serves Hawaiian food. Haven’t been there yet, but I found their presentation here striking. Pentax 17, Fujifilm F-64D, ECN-2 development.

Black-and-white photograph taken up the stairs going out from Furuset metro station in Oslo. The wide and square stairs and the tall walls are all bare concrete. It is dark inside and very bright outside, with only a few bare trees to prove there's anything out there at all. A metal gate hangs rolled up in the ceiling, ready to fold come back down once night falls.
