![Abandoned motel behind chain-link fences with taped X marks on doors and broken windows in Michigan.](https://live.staticflickr.com/6010/5968411215_dc53760a88_b.jpg "Minolta Maxxum 5 | Expired Fujifilm 200

I’m not exactly sure why, but I’ve been shooting more film than digital lately, especially on my recent trip back to Detroit. I suspect that some of it has to do with my DSLR being pretty bulky, while my “small” film SLR is lightweight and easy to carry with me.
Instead of doing just 2 posts per roll with ~10 images each, I’m going to spread this roll of expired Fujifilm 200 film a little longer.
P.S. - please excuse the “ruin porn” here. This motel near my folks’ place just happened to be in the process of getting torn down last week.")
