Ilfocolor Vintage Tone in Kyoto
I love shooting new film, and I don’t think there’s such a thing as “bad” film. Sure, there are some that are just “meh,” and a few that are straight-up weird. So when my friend handed me that roll, saying it was the worst film she’d used in a while, I took her second roll…
