Polar Bear Plunge part 3 (the end).
Most people run into the water, take a quick plunge, then run out again. A few linger, swim further away, and walk back slowly.
While others are already drying themselves off, a few daredevils dive in for a second time.
And yes, you were wondering… This guy Jacco shoots analog, doesn’t he? And he only develops B&W film himself, right? Surely not colour film (slide or negative)? Then… how come he posts colour photos taken on January 1st on the same day, and the two days after? Did he switch to digital?
No, he did not. There was no polar bear plunge in my local body of water this year. I took those slides a year ago. Hope that revelation does not spoil the moment for you. On the positive side, yes, still working analog. Not because it’s better, not because it’s worse, but because that’s what I like, that’s what I do.
