  • Operation Thin the Herd: Kodak VR35 K40

    My first Kodak VR35 K40 was a gift, new, from my mom. My second was a $5 Goodwill find. Both were surprisingly good. Here are some recent photos I made with mine.

  • The Bungalow, Inc. Kodak VR35 K40 Fujicolor 200 (I think) 2011 Of late I’ve been either busy, or ill, or busy and ill. It’s left little energy for photography. So to feed the blog I’ve been trawling through my photo archive for ones that please me. My mom bought me my first Kodak VR35 K40…
