I have continued to enjoy shooting film since I came back to it in 2017.
In this post I share my favourite black and white film photos from 2020.
Most of these images were taken with my Konica Auto S3. I indicate which film type was used below each image.

Wherever possible, I have included website and Google Maps links for the small businesses that appear in these images.
