At least I had backup!
A few weeks ago, I shot a roll of 120 film at night along Kirkwood Highway. When I emptied the camera, the film was pretty loose on the spool.

Some of her favorite spots to relax and take photos are different graveyards. Yesterday, she wasn’t exactly prepared to be a photo subject, but she was willing. So, after a play-date with her little nephew, we walked down the street to one of her favorite haunts (no pun intended, although she says it’s actually haunted) – The St. James’ Episcopal Church (as previously mentioned here).
