OMG…Tom Hanks wearing the MAGA hat on SNL nailed it.

I like the portrayal of a calm landscape mixed with the contained chaos of the person.

Alejo Almanza @alejoalmanza.bsky.social · Feb 1

Was this on a tripod? It’s so crisp.

Alejo Almanza @alejoalmanza.bsky.social · Feb 1

Excellent diptych. Not sure if you meant it to be humorous, but it is for me. I’m not sure why. In any case, excellent capture

Alejo Almanza @alejoalmanza.bsky.social · Feb 1

The low angle, the dof, the tones, and the moment all work so well.

Alejo Almanza @alejoalmanza.bsky.social · Feb 1

Did you push the film? Pretty grainy for 120. I do think the grain works well tho.

Alejo Almanza @alejoalmanza.bsky.social · Feb 1

Wait you caught this on 35mm? Bravo!

Alejo Almanza @alejoalmanza.bsky.social · Feb 1

Soft glances from across the room.

I had a great time connecting with old friends and making new ones.
