Do it well, or don't do it at all. Its easy to fall into snap trap when carrying camera everyday, especially with film where everything looks better straight from the lab. Here's to making less images but hopefully better.

1.& 2. Nowhere, outskirts near Fujifilm Poland headquarters. Using cooling filter here to naturally lower the kodak warmth a bit.

3. Gravel at the industrial site near Targówek railway, Warsaw.

Proimage consistently delivers. I wish I had 3dLUT based on it...

1. Red layering, poster behind glass. Vision250d, which antics I really dont miss.

2. Red comp spotted on a bus stop. Praga, around Różyckiego market.

3. Snap in the supermarket. I love adapting vintage lenses, clunky yet full of life!

Cats are everywhere in Marmaris and the locals do great job of keeping them fed and moving around unrestricted. Still, You don't have to look too long to spot a single weaker, less fortunate soul that won't make it.

Had lender X100V from @tomczyk on this one as a backup in case airports cooked all my film, ended up shooting both just as often. I'll miss this lens and extra space in the ovf soon enough.

Verticals from Marmaris. The town in spite of handling tourist traffic remains authentic and human. The tourism aura falls off quickly the next street or two away from the shoreline.

A week long break in Turkiye. First time taking film abroad. Got xrayed 3 times in total. The young airport workers had no clue whats going on, the old couldn't care less😅 I'm getting leaded pouches next time.
