OptiColour 200

Seattle’s late-Spring evening was perfect for shooting. The weather was cloudy but warm, and I had a point-and-shoot film camera and some new film stock that I hadn’t shot before.

The evening unfolded as a quiet study in Seattle's contrasts. A narrow Pioneer Square alley framing gleaming towers overhead, and the waterfront pier shot from the water with the Great Wheel rising beside the Fisherman's restaurant in cool, flat light. OptiColour 200 handled all of it with a pleasing restraint muted but not flat, with just enough warmth in the shadows to keep the film grain feeling deliberate rather than accidental.
