As I wrote at the beginning of the year I’m shooting at least one roll of film every month throughout 2025. In January, I actually ended up shooting two rolls—here are some of my favorite images from those rolls. All were captured on Ilford HP5+ at ISO 400, using my Minolta X700 with a Minolta MD 35mm f/1.8 lens and a yellow filter. The photos were taken around Frankfurt—either on my street photography walks or during visits to my local park.
