A path leads out of a churchyard. Dappled light from overhead branches highlights the path and the light coming from the outside illuminates the entrance.

Brighton promenade Enjoyed my first visit to Brighton. I hadn't quite expected the scale of it. Will have to return. #holgaweek #believeinfilm
A grainy, high-contrast, black and white photo taken from inside a dilapidated seaside shelter. The perspective looks out through grimy window panes and vertical metal supports to the promenade, which has a railing and several empty benches. Beyond the benches, the sea stretches toward the horizon under a bright, cloudy sky. In the foreground, the wooden slats of a bench inside the shelter are visible, along with a faded mural or etching on the wall to the lower left, possibly of a sailboat. The image has a vignette effect and a vintage, melancholy feel.

Decided to level up my minor interest of #photography into perhaps something bigger. I am now the owner of a 48-year-old Soviet camera made in 1977. No batteries, no SD cards. Entirely manual and it needs film. Entirely new world for me, but YOLO. I’m going to learn how to use it!
