Amelia Island.

Someone just needed to get in some quality beach time. They just happened to have a couple of airplanes on the trailer.

Pirate Pete and friends, Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Florida.
The look of film, actual film. Fujifilm 200.
These images are from a recent photo walk around the island with my 1983 Nikon L35AF 35mm film camera.
Autofocus and auto exposure were spot on. These scans are from The Darkroom lab in San Clemente, California. No post-processing by me or them.

Pirate Pete at the Palace Saloon.
Pirates everywhere!
Amelia’s Mermaids.

Elsewhere in the historic district.

Bye-bye Publix

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Our local Publix on the island is being demolished to make way for a new store by late 2026. This one has served Amelia Island since 1987.

It’s been refreshed over the decades, but this will be a total rebuild and expansion of the store.

Looking a bit old.

What it may look like.

Out and about with my Canon New F-1 and Canon NFD 24 f/2.8 lens.

Wadsworth’s on Centre Street, downtown Fernandina Beach Historic District.
Pirate Pete standing guard outside the Palace Saloon (Florida’s oldest).
Unfinished renovation of the former Marina restaurant at the west end of Centre Street.

Fujifilm 200 color negative film. Processed and scanned by The Darkroom in San Clemente, California. I enjoy using my classic Canon FD lenses. The contrast and clarity always leave me satisfied with the results.
