Four Bourbons Pinhole Coffee Flat White Cup Camera Kodak T-Max 400 10 seconds There's a coffee shop in San Francisco called Pinhole Coffee ( www.pinholecoffee.com ). I've never been but based on info from pinhole friends of mine, and the name, it's a magical place. About a week ago Jeff McConnell , a pinholer based near NYC, suggested folks support Pinhole Coffee during the Covid-19 crisis by making a purchase from their online store. Wanting the magic to survive, I bought a few things.

9 Nearby Hydrants Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flipped Lens Camera Kodak T-Max 100 film pulled half a stop Last week I shot a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye. I flipped the lens several years ago. It's been sitting on the shelf of a cottage until recently. I needed to get out of the house, so I took it for a walk...a couple of miles around the neighborhood.

I forgot the camera has a few light leaks. I'll need to tape the seams next time. In case you don't know, this Brownie model shoots 620 film. It's possible to use 120 on the take up reel, but you may need to bend some small metal tabs on the sides of the pick-up reel holders. It's that easy. Camera and film ready for (limited) adventure
