Found a nice selection of vintage cameras in Toulouse, including a pair of Leicas and an early SWC! A bit pricey, though. #believeinfilm

Did I just mount a Leica telephoto lens on my Meopta enlarger? Doubt it’ll beat the Schneider, but it could an option for 35mm postcards! #darkroom

Connected | Disconnected I keep coming back to this idea in my photos: we’re more connected than ever, yet often disconnected from the present — this quiet tension is a challenge to photograph. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

I didn't enjoy its lack of midtones and muddy highlights, at least when pulled to 1600 and developed in HC110... I'd rather push HP5 if I need the extra speed.
