35mm catch-up with Dump, Television, The Bevis Frond, Barbara Manning

On occasion, I drag some vintage equipment around to shows and shoot a roll of film or two. I’ve actually been making a point to do it more often lately, which is why you’ll be seeing some (hopefully) lovely analog shots from Boston Calling up here in a week or two. For now, here are the results from an old roll I finally got back from the lab and scanned yesterday. These are largely from April’s “Midlife Crisis of Champions” show at TT’s, a birthday/radio show anniversary event put together by WMBR’s Jon Bernhardt and featuring Dump (aka Yo La Tengo’s James McNew), The Bevis Frond and Barbara Manning. I’m pretty happy with how they came out. There are a few less-good shots from last month’s Television show at the bottom as well. Really would’ve needed some ASA 3200 to get anything decent out of that show, but I mostly just wanted to finish off the roll of 400 that was already in my camera. Alas. 

All photos shot with a Minolta SRT-101 and a 50mm f/1.7 on Ilford HP-5.
