Some #KodakBrownie pictures from The San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
The balloon is yellow, and I used a yellow filter to darken the sky and increase contrast. A lot of the balloon is in shadow, so actually came out about the same shade as the sky, anyway, but the border is still pretty crisp.
This picture has weird bands that I sometimes get. This is the first shot of the roll. Maybe there was just a little light leakage as I was loading it. Or could the film have been stretched in winding?

This is a big weekend for nocturnal bird migration. As many as 500 million birds could be flying under cover of darkness across America. Join Audubon’s Lights Out program by turning outdoor lights off at night to provide them safe passage between their nesting and wintering grounds. #SanDiego #BirdMigration

omny.fmThe Story of Sagon Penn, 40 Years Later - Voice of San Diego PodcastOn Sunday, March 31st, 1985, a group of young Black men drove back to southeastern San Diego after visiting Balboa Park. It was just after 6:00 PM and the sun was retreating into the horizon. As a truck driven by 23-year-old Sagon Penn pulled into a driveway on a quiet street in Encanto, they were followed by two police cars. What happened next would leave one officer dead, another officer and a civilian ride along severely injured, a young man in a years long legal limbo and a city reeling.  On the 40th anniversary of the incident, I have author Peter Houlahan in the studio with me. His book, “Reap the Whirlwind: Violence, Race, Justice and the story of Sagon Penn,” is a fascinating deep dive into the case, the compelling figures who drove the story and the impact it all had on San Diego and beyond.    SHOW NOTES 10News Story: New book revisits the impact the story of Sagon Penn has had on communities of color in San Diego You can find book from Counterpoint Press here: Reap the Whirlwind Reap the Whirlwind - Violence, Race, Justice, and the Story of Sagon Penn by Peter Houlahan Book Description The bestselling author of Norco ’80 returns with a riveting story of mid-1980s San Diego that placed one young Black man at the center of a whirlwind of crime and punishment that profoundly altered Southern California CREDITS Scott Lewis, CEO and editor in chief at Voice of San Diego.
