Not last summer actually, but summer last year. I’m slowly progressing in my film workflow but the lag is now huge. Here’s a selection from my roll of week 30 (July) last year. One shot at a friend’s pool and a few from a day trip to the coast. Shot on one of my XA3’s…
Walking in the streets of Brussels again this week. This is week number 20 for me. Several times I bumped across different kinds of messages.
