Version two of my little #filmphotography #zine project, in which I belatedly fix the set of horizontally reversed images and manage to cut and fold without getting my hands too stained.

Still off my awful laserjet but it's coming along! Next to get a few from Staples to see if IQ improves.

Honestly, for a first try on a crappy laserjet, this little #zine proof of concept didn't turn out half bad!

Certainly it was fun to work on, taught me how to use the basics of #inkscape, and should be a fun outlet for smaller #filmphotography projects.
