I need to take more pictures with my #holga. It's a joy to shoot with a toy that has such a unique style.

It was some sort of give away at a tent.

This was my first outing with my new Sigma RF 18-50mm f2.8. Good lens.

Sometimes I don't post photos because I don't know what to say or a title to call it. This is one of those photos.

I want to go back to #NYC. It's a street photographer's playground. This woman was #dancing by herself in the street, just living her best life.

The negatives look solid. Good luck. Medium format is different but satisfying.

I'm a little proud of this one. This was not a happy accident. I saw the scene and positioned myself to get the shot.

Thank you! I always liked the fact that the arrows are facing the opposite way from where they are walking, but I never realized that the arrows are diverging. Great take!
