I just scanned some film from Sunday's brunch at Craigie on Main, and I thought I'd share a few shots from the roll. It was my first time ever working with slide film. I decided to have it cross processed, and I'm not sure I'll go that route again anytime soon. Everything looks a little greenish to me. Sometimes I think it works, but most of the time, I just want to look away. I was surprised by the variation in color and saturation within a single roll. I don't think I've seen this kind of thing with other films I have used. I'm hoping that after another roll or two, I'll have more of a sense of what to expect. As for all of the blurriness, unfortunately, I can't blame that on the film. Better luck next time.
I love how this restaurant is designed around the kitchen. From almost every seat in the house, it's possible to catch at least a glimpse of it. Craigie on Main is all about connectedness - to the seasons, to the produce and animals it prepares, to the vendors they use, and to their guests. The open kitchen layout makes me feel like I'm connected too, somehow; as if by simply chewing and swallowing, I'm a part of it all. I stood by the kitchen for a while snapping these shots, and I thought to myself, "This is a restaurant that is not afraid to bear its soul." I can't wait until the next time.
