In 2025, I took 605 photographs on #film:
568 on the #fujifilmtx1 / #xpan
37 on the #minoltaps
Of those, 191 were marked as 3* or higher, which is the minimum for when I'll consider editing/sharing an image.
86 were published, for a net hit rate of ~15%.
I aim for 10%, so this was a good year.

These were all shot on expired Portra 160 NC of questionable origin. Strong colour cast, so converted to black and white instead. Very much enjoying my second time with the Minolta P’s.
