In preparation for a European trip I dusted off my LeicaM6 and loaded it with Ilford HP5+. I haven't processed or printed 35mm in close to a decade, preferring the larger negatives from my 4x5 or Rollei 6006, but speed and portability suggest the Leica. I ran off the first roll essentially as an experiment, to get re-used to the camera and processing, and chose "Christmas Decorations" as a theme. The attached images are from that roll, scans from the negative. Contrast is a bit marginal, although the work prints I made in the darkroom look better to me than the scans. But these scans do show what I was doing:

I was going to say man, these look like my friends neighborhood in Edison, then I looked at your name....NJ.
