Thanks for the mention.
My pleasure.
As always, you give us great variety! I love this line from the end of Olli Thomson’s piece. “Sometimes if your pictures aren’t good enough you need to step back, widen your perspective, open your images up, let them breathe.”
It is a great line!
Thank you BrandiB. Glad you liked it.
You’re welcome. I enjoyed that line and your overall perspective. :)
Last Christmas, My Mother gave me her 620 Art Deco Kodak that she used as a teenager. I am finding film for it. But I look forward to any suggestions your “recommended read” can make.

Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Yes, it looks that way to me, too. Or stand back far enough!
