Coffee and a Burrito

 We visited Bike In Coffee which is at an old farm west of downtown Albuquerque.  We drove there, but many people do get there along the bike trail that parallels I-40.  I shot most of a roll of Kentmere 400 in the Zorki 6 with the collapsible Industar 22.

The camera and lens performed fine, but I don't shoot the camera enough to be used to the unconventional location of the rewind button which is right next to the shutter release.  I managed to lose about a quarter of the shots by pressing the wrong button.

Still a nice morning outing and I always find a lot of picture opportunities at the place.

 




Margaret wants to go back on a Thursday when the bluecorn pancakes are featured, so I'll likely have some more pictures of the place soon.

Old Town Farm

We rode our bikes to Old Town Farm to meet friends for breakfast.  I took along my Minolta Hi-Matic 7s. 










I shot the whole roll of Gekko MW 100 in fully automatic mode and developed in caffenol.  The brightly lit scenes looked ok, but the camera seemed befuddled in low light.   Not having the proper mercury battery may have contributed to the less than perfect outcome, though I had better results with the last roll of color I shot in the camera.
