National Memorial for Peace and Justice


It was a very hot and humid summer day and I was in Montgomery, Ala. to visit the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. I had my beloved Rolleiflex SL66 with me, along with the 80 mm f/2.8 lens and a roll of East German made ORWO film that expired in 1976. I was so grateful that the guard decided to let me in carrying the old Rolleiflex -- I wasn't sure he was going to at first. Frankly, the SL66 is a lot of camera to schlep around as a tourist. But the photos! There was a lot of base fog when I developed the ORWO, but the images were satisfying. I also exposed a roll of Fuji Acros to cover my bases.
