Seventh Roll of Polyfilm Handmade Film From Ukraine

These shots are from the second roll of Polyfilm Ortho I shot in Florida, labelled ”Grainy“.

Double glass doors have a sign saying Open inside. A folding chalk sign says Welcome! Breakfast and Lunch ALL DAY 8am - 3pm Fresh coffee and Pastries / Baked goods A storefront with two signs. On the left, Florida Water Tours. On the right, Beachware, Beer & Wine, Local Art. Florida Motel, a single story motel. A For Sale sign is vislble. A palm tree stands in front of a single story building A building with a steeply angled roof has Flagler Beach in large letters on the roof. Next door, a sign for the Funky Pelican. A crane stands behind it all, and SUVs and pickup trucks are parked in front.

The first five photos have a mix of black pinholes and white pinholes, something that recurs through these photos.

A family stands on the beach near a pier that is under construction with a crane at its end. The entrance to a beach has a sign saying No Swimming. People sit and walk on the beach next to an under construction pier. A sign in a parking lot has two businesses shown. At top, EP Beauty Supply. At bottom, Blue Hen Breakfast & Lunch.

Six, seven, and eight have mottling.

A building with a curved roof. A Do NOt Enter sign marks a driveway to its left. The photo is heavily fogged. Palm trees stand in front of an old fort. People walk in front of it. A wooden view post stands among trees and buildings by the side of the road. The photo is fogged. The oldest in USA St. Augustine Florida. So says a sign on an old log building. The photo is missing large pieces where emulsion was not present.

Nine through twelve all exhibit the mottling of the previous frames, with the added bonus of fogging. There must have been a slight misalignment with this roll because the last photo is on the droppings of emulsion at the end, hence the missing pieces.
