I was nervous about taking the Olympus Stylus Epic to China. Not because I thought I would lose it or have it stolen, but because I was worried that I wouldn’t take any decent pictures with it. My February roll for the Frugal Film Project had problems with underexposure - so how would I go in China in early Spring? A 200 speed film wasn’t ideal, would there be enough light for my photos?

Matt Jones, Matthew Joseph, and Bill Thoo often share their artwork with others in a photography group chat....
