chinese lunar new year. seattle. february 22. 400tx.

It is early afternoon, and the rain has stopped for a couple of hours. After getting off the train, I crossed the street and walked to the International District in Seattle. Most of the area features Chinese culture, but some serve people of Japanese and Vietnamese descent.

Though the Lunar New Year actually occurred a few weeks ago, the International District chose to celebrate it on February 22nd this year (https://www.seattlechinatownid.com/experiences/lunar-new-year).

I shot these images with the Nikon FM3a, with the NIkon50mm F2 lens. I developed the film in XTOL (1/1) for 9 minutes @20C, agitating every 30 seconds for 5 seconds. I scanned the images with the PrimeFilmXEs using VueScan.

I also shot a roll of color film and created some digital images of the event. I hope to get some of them posted tomorrow.
