Last Monday was Argus Day, 2022, and Argus camera lovers everywhere loaded up their favorite Argus- branded cameras and captured images of their day. This is an annual event dating back to August 1, 2001.

I started the day with a fresh roll of Kodak 400 film in a black-bodied Argus STL-1000 SLR from circa 1970. I could not settle on any real plan, so I bounced around a 12 mile or so area between home, Fenton, Sunset Hills, and Kirkwood, then back to home until the film ran out. The film was Kodak 400 color print film, but the results were monochrome, since I developed it myself using my Caffenol recipe. The sepia tint was added post-developing.

Later in the day, as the sun dropped behind the trees early evening, I brought out a little digital Cintar DC3515 and captured a small series of full color images as "insurance," just in case something went wrong with the film series.

By the way, all images were shot hand held, and captured with available light.
