The Factory from Switzerland
Excellent color picture, you are very close, "in" the scene, and sharp ;).
The huge contrast is well controlled (i like pastels coming from overexposure). I'm a bit disturbed by the left blueish (you could easily remove) but this gives a "vintage kodacolor" mood to the picture :-)

The waiting is the hardest part but delivers the best pictures. Great scenery & brilliant perspective, Sharon. A beautiful picture that reminds of one of my favourite photographers, Anthony Hernandez. Thanks for this one. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

How I love the look of toy cameras! This guy should consider pole dancing, or it would be an awful waste of such a great pole

very cool shot, the man is just watching in the good direction, along the perspective of your picture, and that gives a very strong capture here, congratulations

These latest captures are so nice. I like your greyscale, but you're achieving such delicious colors. I can imagine how much you must be enjoying that new camera.

@sherri: Thanks so much Sherri. Yes, I am loving my new camera and the freedom I feel when using it, much like when I use the Holga as well. The adventure with colour film has been fun indeed :)
Ivar from Indianapolis, United States

Jaol from Canarias+Asturias, Spain
It's this twee (not sure whether this is the right word in English) pole and this man leaning against it, this contradiction, in some sense , something thay you saw, something that is taking me long to find out...

Polka dots and white balloons! Looks like a hot day in Vancouver.

@Howard F.: Thank you :) Although it has cooled off considerably it has been hot here like you would not believe. Hoping to get some rain to put out so many forest fires that are out of control here.
Aurore from Paris, France

An excellent observation. He is oblivious to the fact that he's surrounded by hot pink and poka dots.
