We’ve had a new business open up recently and it’s a coffee house in the heart of the downtown area. What’s notable about it, at least for me, is that they’ve licensed some of my photography for use in their decor. That was nice of them. This is the first time I’ve ran some color film through my Jiffy Kodak II. It originally took 620 film, but I loaded some 120 to feed onto an original 620 take-up spool and it worked.
