Spiritualized Life, by Charles Adrian Pillars (1870-1937). Memorial Park, Jacksonville, FL.

First time ever using a Canon AE-1. Honesty, I respect the place this camera holds in the history books, but not really all that impressed. It is a function thing, not the way these photos turned out. Anything wrong with these is a result of me challenging metering conditions and my choice of developer (read as user errors). Ended up giving this camera away to my son's long-time girlfriend, who has an interest in learning photography. Tested with Kentmere 400 Pan souped in my goofy HC110, Dilution H (15.5ml of syrup to make 32 oz.) for 12 minutes.
