{Quarantimes} Volume Five

This is one of those rolls of film that was shot over a long period of time – spanning Christmas 2020 through June 2022! Which is a shame, because the camera with which the photos were taken is my all-time favorite: a Fuji GA645i! I say it’s a shame because I hate that I went so long between taking photos with this camera that it was possible for such a great length of time be depicted on one roll of film!

The first set was taken at Crosstown Concourse in Memphis, where we’d visited on a rare pandemic-era outing that Christmas season.

This photo right here is so special to me. I didn’t get this film developed until after my mom had passed away, and I just felt like it embodied her sense of awe and wonder. I think that’s one reason my sister and I liked to take mom to see beautiful things.

In this particular case, she was marveling at Crosstown Concourse. This building was a Sears for many years, and she remembered visiting there when she was younger. She was always fascinated by the way it’d be renovated. Here, she was looking over the great expanse of the building.

No wonder mom was looking out over Crosstown with awe that day. It was beautiful.

As you can see, the rest of the photos were not at Christmastime!

These last three photos were taken at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Memphis. An old friend of mine was being ordained as a priest that day, and Mom and I went to support him. Another instance where Mom was in awe of her surroundings. She may not have been Catholic, but she loved beautiful holy spaces such as this. I always wanted to take her to England with me to see cathedrals there, but the best I could ever do was sharing photos from my visits to that country

{Quarantimes} Volume Three

More film from 2020 when we weren’t going many places, and it was all to-go coffee, all the time.

Love peeping my mom and niece in this photo of a very of the era coffee shop visit

The plants at City & State all have names

Also very of the era: someone’s face mask on a bush outside a restaurant

It felt weird going to a restaurant, even though we were outside. But Mom loved this place in Oxford, so it was a joy to go with her when we were down that way

{No Time Like The Present} Yashica T4, 2019/20

These photos were taken at the end of 2019/beginning of 2020, during the last few months of being able to go places and do things before the pandemic. Unlike most of my other “No Time Like the Present,” I actually had a pretty good idea about what was on this roll before getting if developed since it wasn’t from three years earlier 😂

Seeing if photos taken with my window rolled down would come out on such a gloomy day in downtown Memphis
