An exhibit in the Deutsches Museum in Munich showing how b&w photos can be retouched. The examples date from the 1960s, when current multi-grade photo paper and split grade printing techniques were not available.

Not a film photo for once, but rather taken on my way home using night mode on my iPhone.

Accidental triple exposure taken at my friend's art exhibition (see Instagram: @goodlock_fortune ), as a result of the external flash not firing, but I think this looks more interesting than if the flash did work as I expected.

There seems to be a sense of timelessness in using a low-end camera from 1962 to shoot scenes like this, which could well be mistaken to be a frame as old as the camera itself.

One of the things unique to Taiwanese baseball culture is the official cheerleading squad of each team, who lead the fans in songs and chants tailored to every single player on the team's roster.
