FG week, day 4
I think the blur on the right side of the frame is due to film curl, and not to the lens…
I think this was shot with a new copy of the Nikon 75-150 E-Series that I picked up for a song around the time I bought the FG. It, like the camera, is an absolute beauty, in much better condition than the one I paid double for and that later became the beloved Zomb-E.

LC-A week: 5 (re-cap)
I know, I know. I promised a week, but here it is, merely 5 days in, and already it’s time to recap.
Oh well. There are only so many shots on a roll.
So I shot one out the side door in the wee hours of the morning (probably), and I shot one late in the afternoon after work. One was shot at Golden D’Or, and another in the backroom of a fancy nursery in Uptown/Inwood.
All were good-enough times, and the LC-A is a fun little camera.
LC-A week: 4
Not much to say here… just some rolls of fabric, not much more. Continue reading “LC-A week: 4”
