film water battery After weeks and weeks of rain and grey ISO 800-1600 weather I’m very much looking forward to travelling a bit. The place where I live isn’t exactly great for street photography even when the weather ...
unusual perspectives Yesterday was the last tango lesson of the year for us and for once the weather wasn’t too miserable. I loaded my XA with some rather hastily rolled XP2 and off we went. We were actually ...
