Hello again 🤘
My partner and I just arrived to Cyprus, and so right now I don't have as much time to invest in a more theme-oriented post. I've got some ideas still cooking in my head, but they'll have to wait until I've settled in a bit. This time I've decided to keep it simple.
So here it is - a few chaotic street shots I fished out of my film archives and glued together.
I always liked them a lot, especially how specific they feel, as if I shot them through a microscope (that is - a pretty wide one). It kind of became my second nature these days - to be specific. Don't have that many recent wide-open shots in my archives. A change of style, I guess, and one that probably has more to do with my equipment having an effect on me, rather than a direct change of taste. Maybe it's both. A nice 70/30 mix of the two. The gist of this theory is I have only one lens for this Nikkormat N-ftn film camera, a lovely 50mm f/1.4 NIKKOR-S Auto (Introduced in '62), and I just got so used to it and it's narrowness over the years, that it probably re-shaped my whole way of looking at things on the streets.
A funny sidenote : the only horizontal photo here, I shot with a different camera - A Mamiya RB67 Pro-s medium format camera, which for her lens system, yet again, I also have only one lens - a 45mm (90mm in medium format proportions). So it's the same story - the circumstances "chose" for me my preferred way of taking photos. You'd might say that being cheap, or careful, with your equipment upgrates - can kind of confuse you about the "nature" of your tasteful choices.
And well... that's it. Hope you liked them. Until next time... good night, fellow photographers.
