This last month I finally got around to using an old roll of Tmax 3200 iso film that I before it expired, sometime before 2003.
My intent was to use most of this film underground. Unfortunately, the results from this tunneling trip were subpar. However – that was only half the roll.
The rest was shot in an extremely long abandoned, very old NYC hospital building. This place is rotting out hard. The floors have pulled away from the walls in several rooms, collapsing downward to the floors below.
Here, the grainy 3200 created a creepy 1950s feel. The black and white nature of this film only added to it, as the building in question is almost entirely devoid of color.
The results are unlike anything I’ve shot in a very long time.

Color is nice, but b & w gives pics a special look.
I approve!

Thanks — yeah I definitely need to do more of these. It’s a little less predictable but a lot more fun.
